Synopsis
Hi! I'm Charlie (DON'T call me Charlotte - ever!). History is boring, right? Wrong! The Victorians weren't all deadly dull and drippy. Lottie certainly isn't. She's eleven - like me - but she's left school and has a job as a nursery maid. Her life is really hard, just work work work, but I bet she'd know what to do about my mum's awful boyfriend and his wimpy little son. I bet she wouldn't mess it all up like I do...
What the critics say
Wilson deserves her popularity – even the most resistant page-turner would find this difficult to put down.
- Sunday Times
the trick of writing as a child is not easy to pull off, but Wilson does it triumphantly
- Independent on Sunday
Her latest vivid, superbly observed story of real life
- The Times
A touching tale... Written in first-person voice of disarming honesty, the book rings true through all its many layers
- Guardian
‘Jacqueline Wilson’s clever interweaving of the modern and Victorian story lines makes this book especially satisfying. Nick Sharratt’s delightful line drawings help to make the text accessible to a very wide range of readers, who will find this first rate novel both intuitive and humorous’ Carousel
