Description
Set in 1953, Queenie is a heartwarming and moving story by Jacqueline Wilson. Elsie Kettle looks forward to celebrating Coronation Day with her Nan, but their lives are turned upside down when they both fall ill with tuberculosis.
Elsie finds herself confined to the children's ward of the hospital, where she must adapt to a strict regime. However, she soon discovers that even in isolation, friendship and imagination can thrive. With the help of Queenie, the majestic white cat, Elsie finds ways to entertain her fellow patients and, for the first time, feels like she belongs.
As Elsie recovers from her illness, she is visited by a special guest who brings unexpected joy to her life. This poignant story explores themes of friendship, loneliness, and the power of the human spirit.
