What a wonderful book this is! Dizzy's parents were fringe kids who had to grow up fast when Dizzy came along. Dad coped, Mom not so much. When Mom comes back into Dizzy's life, everything is turned upside down. The characters are memorable and believable, the story sweet and not too far-fetched. I found this an unmitigated delight.

"Dizzy" is a girl who has spent years wishing for a connection with her mother. When her mother shows up on her birthday, she is surprised and delighted, and when her mother says that her father says she can go to festivals with her, she is especially delighted. The festivals turn out to be less fun than anticipated, but she makes friends with Finn and her quasi-brother, Mouse. She learns more about both her parents, and she grows in the process. ( )

On the eve of her 12th birthday, Dizzy is about to see her greatest dream come true when her hippie mother, absent from the family for four years, returns to convince Dizzy's dad to let her come away for the summer. Dizzy is introduced to a life much different from the one back home. ( )

i dont really care about this book it was okay.it was about a girl and her gypsey/hippie mother who was toally stupid

Dizzy has a nearly perfect because her mum left her when she was small. She lived with her dad but every birthday she has she gets a post card and a present. But on her 8th birthday she didnt get antthing but a surprise came on her door step and which will make her dizzy.
