Twelve-year-old Hilda is constantly in trouble. She resolves to be good, but her high spirits always seem to cause mischief. She lives on a farm in the shadow of Mt Ruapehu and, when she's not playing truant, attends a nearby country school on horseback. In or out of school, Hilda plunges from reckless adventure to lively escapade as her indulgent father and fierce but kindly teacher attempt to restrain her.
