Everything On A Waffle: by Polly Horvath

In this funny, bittersweet story, the young heroine manages to hold onto hope despite the odds. Primrose Squarp simply knows her parents did not perish at sea during a terrible storm but try convincing the other residents of Coal Harbour on that score. For the time being, Primrose is an orphan, after some time the town council is able to locate a relative that can take care of her. Uncle Jack, who reluctantly takes Primrose into his care. But true sanctuary can always be found at a restaurant called The Girl in the Swing, where everything - including lasagna- is served on a waffle.
