The must-have new Victorian novel from bestselling, much-loved
children's author, Jacqueline Wilson. Victorian London, 1851. Queen
Victoria is on the throne and the Great Exhibition is about to
open! Lucy Locket lives with her father, the New Mother and the New
Baby. They sent away her beloved Nurse and replaced her with a
horrid governess. Lucy desperately wants someone to be kind to her,
and to have some fun - there's very little of that in her house.
Kitty Fisher is a street performer who earns tin for her supper by
tumbling. She has always lived on the street and on her wits, with
only the kind Gaffer to help her. But now Gaffer is gone, and Kitty
is all alone. When Lucy runs away from home, Kitty shows Lucy how
to survive - where to find the best picnic leftovers in the park,
and which trees makes the best beds. Lucy learns quickly and shows
Kitty her own skills - befriending families to get free meals and
singing beautiful melodies for the crowds. But the streets of
Victorian London are dangerous and soon the girls find themselves
under threat from thieves - and even worse, the Workhouse!
