From Library Journal
Her red hair and unusual childhood in colonial India make independent Eleanore Carey a girl unlikely to appeal to two grimly proper aunts who have given the Careys a homesuch as it isafter Captain Carey's death. Fiercely protective of her helpless mother and frail brother, Eleanore so antagonizes the aunts that she is sent to be a governess, while her beloved brother is banished to a brutal school. When Eleanore is forced to flee her position, she and her brother take to the streets of London. Their plight is desperate until a chance attendance at a free magic show demonstrates Eleanor's flair for the stage, and wins a home for them both and a career for her. Dickensian in flavor, with its cast of villains and eccentrics who populate the seamy side of 19th-century London, this should appeal to a public library readership. Cynthia Johnson Whealler, Cary Memorial Lib., Lexington, Mass.
