synopsis

Pixie stays at her fathers place during

weekends fortnightly. Her Stepmother is
Lucy she has two step sisters. They are Sophie
and Hetty. Dad promised her that she would
have a own room but Hetty and Sophie had a
terrible quarrel that it was decided that Hetty
moves out of her sisters room into Pixies
room.
Pixie hates Hettys habits. Hetty drives her
mad. She hates the way Hetty cocks her head on
one side and fiddles with her hair, the way Hetty
sniffs when she reads and roll the cat over the
carpet like a sausage. Most of all she hates the
way Hetty teases her name- Priscilla.

Hetty was good at Maths and has good

natural manners. She is also good with
animals. She gets Excellent written by her
teacher for her homework. Pixie thought of

ways to get her out of the room. Pixie

started to do things to show the room is haunted.

Pixie started to tell ghost stories about the room

but Hetty did not get scared. So Pixie tried to
disturb her by asking her maths questions. Hetty
went through each problem with Pixie- Pixie
wasnt even trying to listen but she must have
understood because on the next week she actually
got the comment as Well done! from her
teacher.

Next, Pixie tried the silent treatment to get

Hetty out of her room. Pixie had expected Hetty
to go back to Sophies room but Hetty went to
her mother and told her what was going on.

Lucy tried to talk to Pixie but failed. Instead,the two of them end up arguing. Pixie's
father appeared then but quickly went out of the room again as he didnot want to
interfere. Lucy was dissapointed with Pixie for not putting with any effort to integrate and
mixwith the family. Pixie was dissapointed that there was nothing for her at Lucy's home.
After expressing theirfrustrations and dissapointments, both Lucy and Pixie cried and the
made up.Pixie was able to tolerate herstepsisters and Hetty help her with her homework.
