Dancing the Charleston

Dancing the Charleston

by Jacqueline Wilson (Author), Nick Sharratt (Illustrator)

Synopsis

Ten-year-old Mona and her aunt are a very small family of two. They live in the grounds of splendid Somerset Manor, just outside the village. It's 1925, still a time when people are very much supposed to `know their place.' But Mona and her aunt don't have a place. They certainly don't belong with the aristocrats in the Manor, though Mona's aunt makes gowns for old Lady Somerset. They don't belong with the earthy happy-go-lucky villagers either. When great change comes to Somerset Manor, Mona must navigate extraordinary and extravagant parties, bohemian guests, and all the sights 1920s London has to offer... A fantastic stand-alone historical novel in the tradition of Hetty Feather and Wave Me Goodbye, this rich, entertaining novel will delight fans news and old.
