From the publisher

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 . . .
