Gaslight by Eloise Williams

I’m sorry to say that I hadn’t heard of Gaslight or Eloise Williams until a couple of weeks ago. But there I was searching on the bookshelf, when this text shone out at me like a beacon on top of a wild fell. Something told me I’d love it… Gaslight by Eloise Williams What’s Gaslight about? We meet our mischievous main character Nansi straight away in 1899 Cardiff as she wrestles with the fact her mother has disappeared from the misty Welsh docks. With no family she seeks comfort from Pernicious Sid, the owner of a local theatre. Surrounded in mystery and debauchery- not least from the horrid Sid and his avaricious cronies- Nansi doesn’t know who to trust. When she is forced to become part of Violet and Constance's crooked show, her life changes forever as Constance recognises her and is sure she knows where Nansi's mother is. Gaslight is a stunning look into the dark underbelly of the late Victorian era. Will Nansi find her mother? Or will she be tied...

Bradley Chalkers is the teacher's worst nightmare. He does not try- in fact he actually gets his assignments wrong on purpose. He picks fights with girls. He sits at the back of the class last seat, last row. He has no friends and he has already been kept back a year. Consequently he is the oldest kid in the fifth grade and shows no signs of catching up on lost ground. Instead of doing his work, he'd much rather cut up bits of paper and talk to his pretend animals. He definitely has a 'behaviour problem'. You can buy There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom here Enter the new school counselor Carla Davis. She is the complete antithesis to Bradley's teachers. She is modern. She has a relaxed attitude. She even seems friendly. This is completely alien to Bradley and he really isn't sure how to cope with it! Soon we meet another fresh face- Jeff Fishkin- the new boy direct from Washington DC. He is a normal kid- popular even! Jeff is fantastic at making ne...
