London, 1851. Queen Victoria is on the throne and the Great Exhibition is about to open!

Lucy Locket lives with her father, the New Mother and the New Baby. They sent away Lucy's beloved nurse and replaced her with a horrid governess. Lucy desperately wants to have some fun - but nobody pays any attention to her, not even Papa.

Kitty Fisher is a street performer who earns tins for supper by tumbling. She has always lived on the street and by her wits, with only the kind Gaffer to help her. But now Gaffer is gone, and Kitty is all alone.

When Lucy runs away from home, Kitty shows Lucy how to survive - where to find the best picnic leftovers in the park, and which trees make the best beds. Lucy learns quickly and shows Kitty her own skills - befriending families to get free meals and singing for the crowds.

But the streets of Victorian London are dangerous and soon the girls find themselves under threat from thieves - and, even worse, the workhouse! (Verlagstext)
