    About this ebook

    The year is 1804 and Lizzie Short, a street smart, spunky 9-year-old street waif in the dockland area of London during the Napoleonic Wars, finds herself beginning a new life following the deportation of her friends who are caught stealing food. Wandering the streets alone, she goes to the aid of an injured man beginning a series of events which change her young life. She meets Quon Lee, a boy of similar age, who becomes her friend and business partner.

    Whittle's first bestselling novel brings us a richly entertaining, old-fashioned coming-of-age story set during the Napoleonic Wars. He describes the street smart and spunky Lizzie, "as a girl who didn't have a father to educate her to the fact that in those days girls weren't supposed to think!" Thus Lizzie turns out to be unusual for her time--a gifted and enterprising girl, who by her own will, perseverance and intelligence, finds a way to survive.
