It follows a young girl named Lizzie who copes with moving into a new home.

Disgruntled and unhappy about the way these proceedings are going, she doesn't try to make friends with Sam's two sons, Rory and Jake, and keeps to herself by not saying a word.

It is only when she meets her scary step-great-grandmother that she begins to find a connection with her new family, bonding with Great-Gran over their love of dolls.

Soon, Great-Gran is making a full recovery and Lizzie is not so zipmouthed anymore.

AudioFile called the story "charming" while noting it "may cause difficulties with readers unused to British idioms".
