Annie retells the heart‑warming classic story of Annie, the plucky and optimistic orphan in 1933 New York City. Eleven‑year‑old Annie has always believed her parents will return for her — but when life at the orphanage under the harsh Miss Hannigan becomes unbearable, she runs away to seek them. Along her journey she rescues a friendly dog named Sandy, meets the wealthy Oliver Warbucks, and embarks on a series of exciting and sometimes dangerous adventures. Will Annie’s courage and kindness help her escape her hard‑knock life and find a place to belong? With an introduction by comedian Miranda Hart, this edition by acclaimed playwright Thomas Meehan (who adapted the original Annie musical) brings the timeless tale to new young readers.
