Scones and Sensibility

Egmont USA December 22, 2009

Twelve-year-old Polly Madassa is convinced she was born for a more romantic age.

A time when Elizabeth Bennet walked along the stone halls of Pemberley, arm in arm with her one true love, Mr. Darcy.

A time with Anne Shirley gazed out at the wild seas off Prince Edward Island with her bosom friend, Diana, beside her.

A time when a distinguished gentleman called upon a lady of quality, and true love was born in the locked eyes of two young lovers.

But alas…Polly was born in twenty-first century New Jersey.

This however, does not hinder our young heroine from finding romance wherever she can conjure it up. So while Polly is burdened with the summer job of delivering baked goods from her parents’ bakery to the people in her small beach town (how delightfully quaint!), she finds a way to force…um…encourage romance to blossom. Indeed, Polly is determined to bring lovers, young and old, together…whether they want to be or not.
