The right book might just change your life ...

Mim and the Baffling Bully introduces us to Mim Cohen, who roams the world in a travelling bookshop with her dad, brother, and a horse called Flossy. Flossy leads them to the place where they're needed most—where the perfect book will find its way home.

Now, Mim has arrived in a pretty Dutch village, where she meets Willemina, a kind and gentle child who is being bullied by a girl named Gerda.

Mim knows they're here to help Willemina. To change her life. To make her strong and brave and happy.

If only Dad would find her the right book. If only he would stop giving everyone else the wrong book!
