Can you imagine never being allowed to play outside? What about sleeping in a wardrobe every night? Poor Elspeth. Years ago, her parents were tragically washed away in a flood. Now she lives with her disgusting aunt, Miss Crabb, in the attic of the Pandora Pants School for Show-offs. Elspeth spends her days sweeping up mouse droppings, washing filthy pots and dodging spoiled bully Tatiana. But things are about to change, big time…
