Story
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.

Sunset lives a life of luxury with her beautiful ex-model mum, her world-famous ex-rocker dad, and two little celeb siblings. But life on the red carpet is no compensation for rowing parents, constant nagging, intensive media scrutiny, and no real friends. Destiny, on the other hand, is an only child living on a rundown estate with a sickly but devoted mum who constantly tells her she's really the daughter of a famous former rock star...

Beauty Cookson is no beauty. She's a plain, timid girl who constantly feels inferior to the super-confident, snooty girls at school. Worse than the teasing in the playground, though, is the unpredictable, hurtful criticism from her father. Beauty and her meek, sweet mother live in uneasy fear of his fierce rages, sparked whenever they break one of his fussy house rules.

very close to the railway children story
I usually love anything by this author. I was just a little disappointed by how much seem to be based the story The Railway Children.felt a little bit sorry the original author of The Railway Children. to be fair it was perhaps a good insight into how it feels to have a parent in the criminal justice system for children.

I really liked this story, the narrator was annoying at first but it started to get very relaxing to listen to. I really liked the storyline, and it was overall a very good audio book.
