About this title

About the Author:

Julia Golding read English at Cambridge then joined the Foreign Office and served in Poland. Her work as a diplomat took her from the high point of town twinning in the Tatra Mountains to the low of inspecting the bottom of a Silesian coal mine. On leaving Poland, she exchanged diplomacy for academia and took a doctorate in the literature of the English Romantic Period at Oxford. She then joined Oxfam as a lobbyist on conflict issues, campaigning at the UN and with governments to lessen the impact of conflict on civilians living in war zones. Married with three children, Julia now lives in Oxford. The Diamond of Drury Lane won the Nestle Children's Book Prize 2006 and the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize 2006.

From Booklist:

There are no ordinary escapades for Cat, and this time our irrepressible heroine finds herself and her loyal gang kidnapped and adrift on the high seas. What happened? An elaborate plot to deprive Frank of his inheritance leads the old Drury Lane gang onto a ship bound for America, a voyage they are not supposed to survive. If there is anything Cat is born to do, however, it’s survive, and so she does with dramatic flair—and the help of some unlikely Creek Indians. The wit, action, and swashbuckling action never stall in this fourth installment in the Cat Royal Adventures series. Grades 5-8. --Anne O'Malley
