국내에는 "빨간 그네를 탄 소녀"라는 제목으로 번역서가 출간된 명작 동화책니다.
살구빛 윤기가 나게 조린 당근색 머리카락에, 주근깨 하나 없이 희고 깨끗한 피부, 그리고 여름날의 폭풍우 같은 눈을 가지고 있는 내 이름은 프림로즈 스콰프입니다. 태풍이 불어 왔던 6월 어느 날, 아빠의 고기잡이 배가 돌아오지 않자 엄마는 나를 퍼피디 할머니 댁에 맡겨 놓고는 돛배를 타고서 아빠를 찾으러 바다로 나갔습니다. 하지만 아빠의 고기잡이 배도 엄마의 돛배도 돌아오지 않았습니다. 그렇다고 해서 내가 엄마랑 아빠가 물에 빠져 죽었다고 생각하는 건 아닙니다. 난 엄마와 아빠가 어느 섬으로 휩쓸려가서 구조를 기다릴 것이라고 생각하고 있어요. 그래서 난 엄마와 아빠의 장례식에도 가지 않았지요. 사람들은 날 '이상한 애'로 취급하기 시작했어요. 난 이제 잭 외삼촌과 살게 되었는데, 잭 외삼촌은 날 마지못해 보살피기로 했지만, 난 잭 외삼촌이 좋아요. 내가 좋아하는 곳은 와플이 빠지지 않고 등장하는 바우저 아줌마의 식당 '빨간 그네를 탄 소녀'입니다. 바우저 아줌마만이 내 말을 진지하게 들어주고 요리도 가르쳐 주는데... 이제 나의 삶은 어떻게 되는 걸까요?
프림로즈가 마음의 평화를 얻는 바우저 아줌마의 식당 '빨간 그네를 탄 소녀'의 요리에는 와플이 빠지지 않고 등장합니다. 이것 저것 올려서 요리해 먹을 수 있는 와플은 이 사건 저 사건과 부딪히는 프림로즈의 일상을 뜻한다고도 할 수 있습니다. 이 책의 곳곳에는 프림로즈가 바우저 아줌마한테 배운 요리가 수록되어 있기도 합니다.

Book Description
Eleven-year-old Primrose living in a small fishing village in British Columbia recounts her experiences and all that she learns about human nature and the unpredictability of life in the months after her parents are lost at sea.
Publishers Weekly Starred Review
Even after her parents disappear at sea, an 11-year-old girl is convinced that they are still alive. As she is shuffled from household to household, the heroine delivers a "lively recital of her misadventures," PW wrote in a starred review. "A laugh-out-loud pleasure from beginning to triumphant end."
Children's Literature
When her parents are lost in a storm at sea, Primrose is steadfast in her belief that they will return. The school counselor, certain that Primrose has lost touch with reality because of the many accidents that she has (she loses two fingers), attempts to convince her otherwise. She is just one of a number of unusual adult characters in the small town of Coal Harbor, British Columbia who influence Primrose's life. Her opportunistic Uncle Jack is supportive, as is the owner of the restaurant where every item on the menu is served, well, on a waffle. Each chapter ends with a recipe, grounding this novel in a common ordinary act necessary for physical survival, eating. Parallel to this is the need for emotional survival and a support system that will nourish it. This carefully constructed and rewarding story is served up with a cast of quirky characters, bizarre events, a deft touch of peculiar humor and a plucky heroine.
School Library Journal
"Didn't you ever believe anything just because you knew it was true?" Eleven-year-old Primrose asks this question of the inhabitants of Coal Harbour, British Columbia whenever the topic of her parents' disappearance comes up. They were lost in a storm at sea, and she is the only one who believes they will return. Polly Horvath's Everything on a Waffle (Farrar, 2001) is Primrose's sweet and often quirky observations of the townspeople who help her cope with her loss. Moving from Miss Perfidy, the elderly babysitter, to Uncle Jack, her reluctant only relative, to foster parents Bert and Evie, with plenty of input from Miss Honeycut, the school counselor, and Miss Bowzer, the owner and operator of The Girl on the Red Swing, Primrose develops a philosophy of life that will satisfy young and old alike. This is a coming-of-age story of a child who believes with her heart while trying to make sense of the world around her. Primrose has a very strong voice, and Kathleen McInerney is the perfect narrator. She is girlish without being cloying, and conveys Primrose's youthful innocence and sense of humor without sarcasm or cynicism, Her reading of the recipes that appear at the end of each chapter not only binds the work together but illustrates Primrose's spirit. This unusual novel is a must for elementary school libraries. If you only have enough money in your budget for one audio purchase this year, make sure to buy this high quality and uplifting performance.
