Synopsis: Jacqueline Wilson is a bestselling author in England, second only to J. K. Rowling. Charlie's world is changing--for the worse. Her new teacher refuses to call her anything but Charlotte. (Blech!) And forces her to sit next to Jamie Edwards, the most revolting, stuck-up, horrible boy in the whole class. (Yuck!) And assigns her a project on the dreary Victorian period. (Ugh!) But clever Charlie isn't so easily beaten. Instead of writing a boring report, she creates a diary for Lottie, a Victorian nurserymaid and history suddenly comes to life. If learning about Lottie's world isn't enough to make school bearable, at least Charlie has her mom, Jo, who's more like a big sister than a mother. The two of them are all the family they need, thank you very much. But to Charlie's horror, even that is changing. Jo has been acting strange lately--getting dressed up... and putting on makeup for no reason! Could it be, is it possible, that she's got a boyfriend who is disrupting her and Charlie's perfect life? It's all too much for Charlie. There's only so much change a girl can handle before she has to take control of her own life, just the way she's taken charge of Lottie's! Picture descriptions have been prepared by the proofreader with the assistance of Susan Lumpkin and Courtney Stover who provided invaluable editorial support and advice to make the descriptions more understandable to blind readers.
