A sweet story with a nice ending, however aimed at a younger audience I think. Lacked a bit of depth.

(لندن، ۱۷۹۰) حالا و بعد از پایان جلد دوم، کَت اینبار با چالش جدیدتر و البته پیچیده‌تری رو‌به‌رو شده. کَت برای کمک به دوستش (اسمش رو نمیگم که اسپویل نشه) مجبور شده خود را به عنوان پسر جا بزنه و با بدترین دشمنش رو در رو بشه....جلد دوم هم تمام شد.واقعا روون بود.خوندن این مجموعه حس خیلی خوبی بهم میده😍 و واقعا ازش لذت میبرم.یجورایی میتونم باهاش به طور خاصی ارتباط برقرار کنم.خب، از نظر من جلد دوم در سطح جلد اول بود. تا اینجای کار که مجموعه‌ش مورد پسندم بوده. باید ببینم جلدهای بعدی چجوری میشه. هر جلد ...

Fun read. Wasn't expecting to miss these characters

This is probably better than the first one, it made me love SO much! Cat pretends to be a boy and it is funny when Frank & Charlie try to protect her at the boys school!!!!☺

پرده ها میوفتند...

عالی بود!
بدون چیز دیگه.. پیش به سوی جلد 3!
حس عجیبی دارم ک جلد بعدی مربوط به همون قول کت به بیلیه!

Cat Royal's second adventure begins with her friend Pedro about to become the darling of London with his performance as Ariel in Shakespeare's The Tempest.

Cat must call upon her friends, Lord Francis and Lizzie and their mother's abolitionist friends for help. Cat manages to run afoul of Master Hawkins and has to flee the only home she's ever known. Cat needs the assistance of her friends more tha...

This series REALLY doesn't deserve the stars I give it XD But still, I have to because I love them so much. Basically this is the next book in the Cat Royal series. Just as much fun as the first one. There's something oddly addictive about this book. I have come to the conclusion that it's the charries I love - the hot tempered and often sarcastic Cat, the protective butcher Syd, the full-of-himself ex-slave Pedro, Frank, Lizzie, and - yes!- even Billy. The plotlines aren't the best but these ch...

I loved this series as a kid (and I must have been reading pretty contemporarily with the publishing dates, because I recall waiting for the third book to be published) but could not for the life of me have told you the plot. It quite surprised me to read this book as an adult and find it chalk full of historical characters and tropes that I adore now: cross dressing, The Tempest, umbrella-wielding old women, the Clapham Circle. This was such a FUN book. Frank is still my favorite character, tho...

Lovely sequel to The Diamond of Drury Lane, with more irrepressible behavior and spiffy 18th-century slang from Cat Royal, resident orphan of the Drury Lane Theater.Like its predecessor, this story's best asset is in its cast of characters, and includes both high- and low-born alike. Pedro, the former slave/violin prodigy and co-inhabitant of the theater, is in peril. His former owner has tracked him down and claims to have the right to reenslave him. The theater and theater-going public protest...
