Description
Margaret Thursday was named after the day she was found on church steps as a baby. A bag of gold coins was left for her keep each year, but when Margaret turned eleven, the money stopped and she was sent to an orphanage. The conditions were harsh, with poorly treated children and meagre rations. Margaret soon became the enemy of the evil matron who ran the orphanage. Determined to protect her new friends, Peter and Horatio, Margaret planned their daring escape. But outwitting Matron would be no easy task. As she navigated from the orphanage to a canal boat and eventually the world of theatre, Margaret's sense of self and determination propelled her forward. Through her action-packed adventure, set in turn-of-the-century England, Margaret proved herself to be a fearless and resourceful young girl.
