Discovering the Story of Harmony Parker
This book by Dick King-Smith tells the tale of Harmony Parker. She is a 10-year-old girl with a big wish. Harmony really wants to have her own pet animal. However, her parents do not agree. They believe that animals are too messy and dirty to have in their home.
Meet Harmony's Family and Friends
Harmony has an older sister named Melody. Melody is 15 years old and loves looking at herself. She spends most of her time gazing into a mirror. Harmony's best friend is not a person, but a toy dog. His name is Rex Ruff Monty.
Harmony sees the world in a unique way. She thinks animals are much more interesting than people. Because of this, she often imagines the people she meets as different animals. For example, she pictures her father as a large sea lion. Her mother, in Harmony's mind, looks like a Pouter pigeon. And her sister, Melody, reminds Harmony of a graceful Siamese cat.
The Magic Coin and Seven Wishes
One day, something amazing happens to Harmony. Her uncle, named Ginger, gives her a very special gift. It is a magic coin! This isn't just any coin; it's a fifty pence coin with a secret power. The coin can grant Harmony seven wishes. This magical gift changes everything for Harmony. She now has the chance to make her biggest dreams come true. But what will she wish for? And will her wishes bring her happiness or unexpected challenges?
