Mrs Bartolotti has a bad habit of ordering things – things that she usually doesn’t need. One day something incredible and very unexpected arrives in the post. It’s Conrad a factory made seven year old boy who is perfect in every way. He is very well-behaved, polite, clever and follows all the rules.
It doesn’t take long for Conrad and Mrs Bartolotti to grow to love each other but when the factory realises that he’s been delivered to the wrong address Conrad has already decided that he doesn’t want to go back.
Together Mrs Bartolotti and Conrad along with his new friend Kitty have to hatch a plan which involves re-educating Conrad to behaving more like a normal child.
This is great fun read with an exciting conclusion to the story! A must read!
