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 . . .

A hilarious, witty and perceptive tale of two girls from very different times but experiencing very similar problems, from award-winning author Jacqueline Wilson.
