Doll rules are not for everyone, especially for Daisie Moon. After all, Daisie is not just an ordinary doll, maybe not even a doll at all! When the magical Daisie lands on the shores of Philadelphia in 1789, after falling overboard from a ship, she pretends that she cannot walk, talk, or think, in spite of the fact that she can! So no one will guess that she is more than a doll, she tries to sit still and smile all day long. This soon proves to be impossible for Daisie as she wants to have adventures in America, but still worries what might happen if people find out who she really is?

Lady Rules are not for everyone either. At first, Eliza Principle, a girl of twelve years, dreams of attending Dame School to learn embroidery and to follow the strict rules of ladylike behavior. When Betsy Ross brings Daisie to Eliza as a gift, Eliza sees that she could be more popular with Polly Comstock and the older girls at her school if Daisie were at her side!

Will Daisie and Eliza have to break the rules to become the girls who they imagine they can be--ones who are responsible and self-reliant, and can read the Latin names of the flowers at Mr. Charles Peale's museum, find foreign countries on the world globe, and ride a horse through town?

Thompson, Barbara: - Barbara Thompson was a commercial and fine art photographer with a studio in S.O.M.A., South of Market, in San Francisco for several years. She holds a B.F.A. and an M.F.A. in fine art photography and has photographs included in the Permanent Collection at the SF Museum of Modern Art. Her visual training and her love of reading fiction got her started imagining how scenes might be described in a book. Although still a devotee of Adobe Photoshop, she now spends most of her time creating her characters and scenes, which she imagines in her stories. Barbara believes that "seeing" her character step into a world of long-ago that she has created is the best part. Then, adding a bit of "magic" to that character's life helps bring the story alive.
