The Diamond of Drury Lane: A Cat Royal Adventure

(2) 4-6 Orphan Catherine "Cat" Royal lives in the Theater Royal. She helps the theater owner protect a "diamond" he's hiding but soon realizes he's concealing something else. Meanwhile, Cat and Pedro, a musical prodigy and former slave, are also embroiled in a street-gang rivalry. Golding situates her story precisely; often a few deft words bring the setting into satisfying, sharp focus.
