She's eleven - like me - but she's left school and has a job as a nursery maid.

Media Reviews
Wilson deserves her popularity - even the most resistant page-turner would find this difficult to put down * The 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 a 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 *
