Table Of Contents

Smarties Book Award winner, 6-8 years, 1995. "What children need is squashing down! What children want is flattening out!" Would you want a guardian who said that? Neither did Dimanche Diller, the orphan, but she had one Valburga Vilemile! And Valburga has more than a squashing planned for Dimanche. After all, it's only Dimanche who stands in the way Valburga wants above everything else -- Hilton Hall and the Diller family fortune. But Dimanche isn't easy to defeat -- so who will flatten who?
