Seven year-old Maggie (Jonna Liljendahl) deals with life at home and school in this engaging children's comedy drama from the popular stories by Astrid Lindgren. Her father is an editor for the newspaper "The Workers' Herald," while her mother, sister, and kindly housekeeper all show their concern for the lovable moppet. The wife (Yvonne Lombard) of the local mayor is the villainess who is clearly headed for a fall by her telegraphed characterization. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi
