The Diamond of Drury Lane


The first set of books that I will talk about is my favorite series, the 'Adventures of Cat Royal' by Julia Golding. In the first book, The Diamond of Drury Lane, the central character, Cat Royal, a twelve year old orphan, is the female protagonist. Cat tries to protect a diamond hidden in the theater in which she lives, with a political cartoonist wanted for treason. She battles her way through a notorious gang of thugs, and negotiates with a runaway Mughal slave. 
   
Set in the early 1800s London, when the girls were supposed to have etiquette and elegance, Cat is a total opposite. She is a tomboy who loves adventure. Trouble is her best friend and follows her everywhere.With Cat, you can never tell what will happen. I enjoy this theme because I know that an unusual, exciting, and unpredictable twist will complicate the plot. If you are interested in this type of genre, please follow the adventures of Miss Catherine Royal in The Diamond of Drury Lane.
