The Diamond Lane

Product Information

Unlike many of her peers Cat can read and write, taught to her by the previous prompt at Drury Lane. She is also street smart and knows how to handle herself when left on her own. So it's a good old-fashioned melodrama, with thrilling escapes, jeopardy to spare, and the heroes and villains pretty well pegged from the beginning, but perhaps more fun for that? In addition, Karbo penned three books in the Minerva Clark mystery series for children: Minerva Clark Gets A Clue, Minerva Clark Goes to the Dogs, and Minerva Clark Gives Up the Ghost. An orphaned 12-year-old girl named Catherine 'Cat' Royal lives in the Theatre Royal in late 18th Century London. The owner of the theatre (Mr Sheridan) took her in and named her Cat Royal who becomes a mascot, maid-cum-runabout to the theatre, tidying, acting as a prompt during shows etc. Motorcycles, public mass transit, and para-transit vehicles are also exempted from the occupancy requirement under California Vehicle Code §§21655.5 .

There are plenty of things to talk about throughout the story - rich vs poor, politics, gang culture, theft, execution, boys vs girls and I'm sure many more that a talented teacher could pull out. As an adult reader the plot is fairly obvious, but I'm not sure the intended age range would see it that way. The principle characters are well defined and likeable (those that are supposed to be!) and mainly convincing. The end was a little over the top for my liking, and so didn't feel very authentic to me. Credit subject to status and affordability. Terms & Conditions Apply.

This is referred to as "part-time" operation.She’s Cat Royal – four foot four, with long red hair, green eyes and not a penny she can call her own. But she does know a secret – where a treasure is hidden in the theater that is her home. The problem is she isn't the only one looking for it.
