Description

Ivy Pocket is a twelve-year-old maid of no importance with a lofty opinion of herself. After being abandoned in Paris by Countess Carbunkle, Ivy finds herself penniless and homeless until she is summoned by the dying Duchess of Trinity. Offered £500, Ivy agrees to transport the Duchess's most valuable possession, the Clock Diamond, to England and deliver it to Matilda Butterfield on her twelfth birthday. However, Ivy quickly becomes entangled in a conspiracy filled with mischief, mayhem, and murder. Illustrated by Barbara Cantini, 'Anyone But Ivy Pocket' marks the start of Ivy's humorous and perilous journey to discover her true identity.
