Penny is a lively, horse-crazy tomboy, but how she learns to stop hating babies and (certain) boys, is revealed in this collection of letters.

Accompanied by her friend Alistair and his mother (the long-suffering chaperone), she looks for the Loch Ness Monster, discovers a new and not-so-mysterious meaning for Stonehenge, and makes lots of new friends from all over the world (including the irritating, maddening, kleptomaniacal Heidi).

When Penny's schoolroom exuberance backfires, Ms. James sets her a project on 'good manners, politeness and etiquette'. Aided by the knowledgeable Mrs. Bettany, Penny appoints herself 'Etiquette Trouble-Shooter' and fearlessly tackles the dilemmas faced by young people - from bed-wetting and beetroot stains, to friendship and fish knives.

It's not that she likes praying, but what else can Penny Pollard do when Mum announces that they are selling the house? Suddenly, the thought of no longer going to Kooringa Primary doesn't seem so appealing. Inspired by a school project on saints, Penny decides to leave it all in the hands of 'trouble-shooter' Saint Jude - after all, he's apparently quite good, and not just with ordinary problems, but with impossible ones.
