Publisher's Synopsis
Vinegar Street is a derelict, dreamscape of a place, but Poppy Picklesticks, who lives there on a diet of kippers and vindaloo, loves it. But one day the tingling voice inside her head warns her that an unwelcome change is on its way. Then Mandy Nylon, a newcomer, moves into Vinegar Street, threatening Poppy's way of life and everything that she loves. Poppy is determined not to let Mandy get the better of her, so she sets about to rescue Mandy's mistreated son, and bring love and care back to Vinegar Street.
