Nell has a wonderful birthday, so why does the next day have to be so awful? And where could her cat, Lady Jane Grey, have got to?
Nell makes two wishes on her birthday, but the next day they show little sign of coming true. Everyone in her household is busy and wants her out from underfoot and no one is willing to help her find her lost cat. In the end she finds more than a cat and she makes her own wishes come true with the help of a row of tall, bright, smiling sunflowers.
