Another what is this book one! Girl with springs in knees

I've been trying to work out what this children's book is for years. It doesn't ring a bell with anyone in my family but I remember really loving it.

I can't remember much more than that the premise was that the main character, a little girl, had springs instead of knee joints for some reason. This enabled her to jump very high; at one point I think she jumps over a bus.

The girl may or may not have been called Morag (granted that might be a mix-up with Katie Morag).

Any ideas please?!

I was searching for this as we got it out the library a while ago and my daughter wants to get it again, but i didn't have the foggiest idea what it was called! This Unanswered thread is all that came up when I googled "childrens book springs knees!" 😂

Anyway I've found the book we were looking for in the end, hope it's the one you're after too! "Boing Boing" by Alexander McCall Smith and Zoe Persico
