I really enjoyed this fun, quirky adventure story of a brave young orphan, Clemency Wrigglesworth, who travels alone from India to England, not knowing where she is going or who will look after her. She is taken under the wing of Mrs Potchard and her son Gully, and his aunt Mrs Marvel and her children Whitby and Leicester. An advertisement is put in The Times newspaper announcing the arrival of Miss Wrigglesworth and her location, but unfortunately the mysterious lady who comes to whisk Clemency away may not have her best intentions at heart. Gully and Whitby set out on a daring rescue mission, while Clemency uses her fearlessness and bravado to attempt to find out the truth about her real family.If you like this, also try The Thornthwaite Inheritance or The Considine Curse by Gareth P Jones and Wilma Tenderfoot and The Case of the Frozen Hearts by Emma Kennedy
