Synopsis Author

Winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2006

'This is rollicking historical fiction at its best, a great read' - The Sunday Express

I am Cat Royal - Orphan, Adventurer, Actress ... Meet the feistiest heroine in children's historical fiction. Reader, you are set to embark on an adventure about one hidden treasure, two bare-knuckle boxers, three enemies and four hundred and thirty-eight rioters.

I was brought up in Drury Lane, so I have become accustomed to a life less than ordinary. But this turn of events, I have to say, surprised even me. Follow me, and I will show you in The Diamond of Drury Lane. Exciting, funny and packed with adventure ...

Cat Royal never fails to stir up trouble wherever she goes. Julia Golding's award-winning adventure series has all the ingredients of a Philippa Gregory book for readers 9 and over.

“The Diamond of Drury Lane”

It is an amazing book, and the plot thickens as you read every word. The title is metaphorical, but at the same time literal. Do not miss out on reading it!
