Very good. A bit like LOTR in that an object has been cursed as Ellie must take it back to where it was made to destroy it and lift the curse. In this case, the object is an accordion ( called a button-box) which when played cause firstly good things to happen and then terrible things. Ellie learns before she sets out on her quest to save her grandmother from the curse that he life has been one huge lie and that she was an orphan given to the family after being found on a hillside with a large Nanny goat. The goat is still alive and follows Ellie on her quest to the Gleam Country as if she returns the button-box and destroys it, a terrible drought that has befallen the land will be lifted as well as her family surviving an illness. On the way she must survive with gypsies, learn who to trust and not trust and also discover who she really is, if not Ellie from Spit Farm. ( )
