Synopsis

When Jim Jarvis is separated from his sisters, Lizzie and Emily, he thinks he will never see them again. Now, in this companion novel to the modern classic Street Child, it is the turn of Lizzie and Emily to tell their tale.

In Victorian London, Lizzie and Emily are left in the care of a cook, but their story takes them to the mills of northern England. There, under the keen eyes of the mill owners, the girls are made to work in harsh conditions and any chance of escape is sorely tempting…

Can the girls survive a harsh winter full of hardship - and will they ever be reunited with their little brother?

An incredible sequel to the bestselling Street Child, based on the true experiences of Victorian mill girls.

'A magnificent story.' Daily Mail on Street Child
