Publisher Description
From the beloved children’s author of Hetty Feather, Tracy Beaker and Rose Rivers.
Opal Plumstead might be plain, but she has always been fiercely intelligent.
Yet her scholarship and dreams of university are snatched away when her father is sent to prison, and fourteen-year-old Opal must start work at the Fairy Glen sweet factory to support her family.
She struggles to get along with her other workers, who think she’s snobby and stuck up.
But Opal idolises Mrs Roberts, the factory’s beautiful, dignified owner. The best thing about Mrs Roberts?
She’s a suffragette!
Opal’s world is opened to Mrs Pankhurst, and the fight to give women the right to vote.
And when Opal meets Morgan, Mrs Roberts’ handsome son , and heir to Fairy Glen- she believes she’s found her soulmate.
But the First World War is about to begin, and will change Opal's life for ever.
A brilliantly gripping wartime story from the bestselling, award-winning Jacqueline Wilson.

Not sure 🤔
Ummm...I guess it is okay but I don’t know 🤷♀️

this book was ok i guess
AMAZING
One of the best things about a lot of JW’s books is that there is always a topic and most of the time her books are related to things that actually happen to us. I had the actual book version of this and I must’ve read it about 200 times. I had to throw it away because it was worn out and torn. JW is my all-time fav author and I can’t wait until I finally read every one of her inspirational books! 😁✌🏽🥰🥰🥰
