Glossop Girl

By Jill Marshall

All the odds are against her. She's young. She's female. She's from the rough end of town. But there's nowt poor about Lena Matthews.

When a family tragedy takes thirteen year-old Lena from Manchester's back-to-back housing to a grand house in the dark, dark Peak, she thinks her problems might be over. But everyone in Norfolk House has a secret that they want her to keep - the slimy servants, annoying 'master' Henry Birtles, even the lovely lady of the house, Mrs Birtles. Even the mill itself holds mysteries that need to be uncovered.

For an outspoken Manchester lass, keeping her mouth shut is the hardest thing possible, and it could be her troubles are just beginning. But as her adventures takes her through the unfamiliar hills, seasides and cities of Edwardian England, Lena might just discover her own destiny ... in some very unexpected places.
