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 . . .

A hilarious, witty and perceptive tale of two girls from very different times but experiencing very similar problems, from award-winning author Jacqueline Wilson.
