A glittering trip back in time to the 1920s!
'Wild glamour, class conflict, buried secrets and a cameo appearance by Hetty Feather are all delivered with Wilson's inimitable, intensely readable flair, interspersed with Nick Sharratt's cheery illustrations' - The Guardian
A sparkling and glamorous novel from the beloved, bestselling children's author, Jacqueline Wilson!
In a little cottage on the edge of the grand Somerset Estate, Mona lives with her aunt - a dressmaker to the lady of the house.
Life on the edge of the Somerset Estate means that Mona knows she will never have a life full of beautiful clothes and riches. But soon, that will all change . . .
When Lady Somerset dies and a new member of the family inherits the house, Mona is propelled into a life of razzle-dazzle parties, new Bohemian friends and wonderful trips to London.
However, even with these changes Mona discovers that she cannot dance away from her past.
History is brought to life for children like never before, from the bestselling author of Hetty Feather and Tracy Beaker!
Wilson takes on the 1920s in this new novel. Mona and her aunt occupy the splendid Somerset Manor but do not fill any specific class stereotype. Great change comes to force Mona to experience London's spectrum of bohemianism and extravagance. Sits well with Key Stage Two history content.
