Diamond of Drury Lane by Julia Golding - review

Julia Golding, The Diamond of Drury Lane (Cat Royal)

Cat Royal: orphan, adventurer and actress. She has never met her mother and was found on the steps of the theatre as a baby. Ever since that day Cat has lived at the theatre, making friends with pickpockets and barrow boys. Also, she has mingled with lords and ladies.

In her eyes, adventure lies around every cobbled corner. However, this adventure will change her life forever.

Golding's tale of Cat Royal is exciting, funny and of course, packed with adventure. Cat is just like a more adventurous Hetty Feather, which will please any fan of Jacqueline Wilson. I would highly recommend this book to anyone aged 8 and over.
