What is Lady Daisy about?

When Ned helps clear his grandmother’s attic, he discovers Lady Daisy, a Victorian doll with a remarkable secret: she can talk. Ned soon becomes devoted to his unusual new friend, but owning a doll makes him a target for teasing at school. When a bully steals Lady Daisy, Ned must find the courage to stand up for himself and rescue her. Along the way, he learns about loyalty, bravery and the surprising friendship that can grow between a boy and a very special doll.
