6/1/2023 0 Comments The diddakoi bookI liked how this story takes on the topic of bullying and gently offers realistic methods for battling against bullies and prejudice. Rather than change Kizzy, Miss Brooke just wants to finesse Kizzy's wild spirit so that she can also successfully move about polite society. It's a tough road for Kizzy but she eventually finds her place in the world in this inspiring story. While the court agrees that the admiral raising Kizzy on his own would be improper, instead of going into a home, Kizzy is taken in by Miss Brooke, who isn't turned off by Kizzy's wild ways. Cuthbert wants Kizzy put into a children's home, so she takes Admiral Tiss to court to prove he is too old to take on the care of a small girl. When the grandmother dies, Admiral Tiss takes in Kizzy temporarily but knows that it cannot be a permanent situation. Orphaned, she lives with her great-great grandmother in a small, traditional gypsy wagon on the land of Admiral Tiss. Kizzy is little girl from a gypsy family, not quite sure of her actual age and looked down upon for being diddakoi (mixed gypsy heritage - Irish and Romany - rather than a pure parentage of one or the other).
