"Daddy's Girl" by L. T. Meade is a tale that unfolds in the late 1800s. The story centers on little Sibyl Ogilvie, nicknamed "the Angel", and shows her navigating the choppy waters of her family life, especially her arguing mom and dad. The book takes a close look at themes like being innocent, really wanting your parents to be happy with you, and how kids think things are perfect, while adult life can be tough. Sibyl's dad adores her no matter what, but her mom only shows love when Sibyl looks pretty. This makes Sibyl think hard about what relationships mean and how she sees herself. As Sibyl gets ready for something big, her innocent thoughts are mixed with the hard truth about her parents' marriage, setting the scene for a story full of feelings and exploring how families love each other.
