Sometimes she's an intergalactic party-planner, at others a cosmic beachcomber. But always a friend to any child that needs her. Lilac Peabody empowers children to solve their own problems and then disappears once they have achieved their aims.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the third of four short novels which all follow the same group of children within a school environment.
