I surprisingly managed to read this book in a single day - a first ever to read a book in a single day, and it wasn't a terrible experience If I can say. She has written over 100 books and is the creator of characters such as Tracy Beaker and Hetty Feather.

I really liked how when something bad were to happen to Hetty/Diamond, you will generally feel saddened and sympathetic. I absolutely loved this book and I will definitely find myself picking it up again and again to enjoy Hetty and Diamond's brilliant story. Now, seeking life as music hall artistes, our beloved characters are well-off with a place to stay where Hetty earns their keep sewing gowns for Miss Gibson from Gibson's Gowns, and performing a child novelty act in the Cavalcade music hall for Mrs Ruby. Getting back to the story, it was really strong, the charcters were very intresting and once again it delt with some dark area's like that older guy Simon lurking around, teaching really a moral not to go near guys that creep you out! Some good points is that the story overall was great, Hetty going and performing at a musical hall was not what I expected, especially with poor Diamond but that is what Jacqueline Wilson gave us and I am not disappointed, it even gave Hetty and Bertie time to catch up again and see their relationship bloom again like it did in the second book, I liked the idea of Hetty and Bertie in the end getting together and while the ending of little star's seem to hint that they do I would still love to see more of it.I just love this entire series, I've read plenty of books, but this is by far one of my favourite series. There is a lot of love involved between Jem, but you have to read the book to find out who he marries?

Although it was great to read about Hetty's breakthrough with acting, the fact remained that poor Diamond was still not given her happy ending.A new actors troupe joins and they want Diamond to play Alice in their new show, but she doesn't do well and they have Hetty instead. Fired from the music hall, Hetty and Diamond join the actors troupe and start rehearsing for a new show, David Copperfield, with Hetty playing a young Davy. I also found that Diamond got quite annoying in this book, I understand she is a child but she did get on my nerves a bit.
