An adaptation for the stage of this modern children's classic by the best-selling author and 2005 Children's Laureate.

For her history project, Charlie hits on the idea of writing the diary of Lottie, a young Victorian serving girl. When Charlie's mother loses her job as a shop manageress and starts work as a cleaner, Charlie's previously happy and comfortable lifestyle is threatened, and she finds her own hardships and struggles are not so different from Lottie's.

First staged at the Polka Children's Theatre in 1999, this adaptation is suitable for young actors as well as young audiences. The adapter, Vicky Ireland, has provided production notes to indicate how the play can be staged even with minimal resources - plus a lot of ingenuity!

Review

"Both thought provoking and very funny, while giving a young audience a real sense of what it feels like to be a Victorian."

― Evening Standard

From the Back Cover

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 dreary 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.

Charlie's trouble at home isn't quite so easy to fix. It's always been just her and her mom, but her mom has been acting really weird lately -- wearing makeup and dressing up for no reason. Could it be, is it possible, that Charlie's mother's got a boyfriend? There's only so much change Charlie can handle before she has to take control of her own life the way she's taken charge of Lottie's!

    Dame Jacqueline Wilson, DBE, FRSL (born 17 December 1945) is an English writer of children's literature. Because her novels commonly deal with themes as adoption, divorce and mental illness, her work has been called controversial because her readers are young. For her lifetime contribution as a children's writer, Wilson was a UK nominee for the international Hans Christian Andersen Award in 2014.

    Wilson is the author of many book series. Her Tracy Beaker series, inaugurated in 1991 with The Story of Tracy Beaker, includes three sequels and has been adapted into four CBBC television series: The Story of Tracy Beaker, Tracy Beaker Returns, The Dumping Ground and The Tracy Beaker Files. In February 2016 will mark the 25th anniversary of Trace Beaker, Wilson will also release a book called The Story Of Tracy Beaker: 25th anniversary.

charlies life is really changing. Her teacher is mean, makes her sit next to Jamie Edwards,and assigns a "dreary" projecton the "dreary" victorian period. So charlie decides to create a diary for her project, and creates Lottie, a Victorian nurserymaid, and history comes to life.

charlies mom is also causing trouble in her life. Charlie thinks she has a boyfriend, and that can't happen!!!!!

i loved this book and how Charlie brought Lottie to life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun read
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2001
Charlie Enright is happy with the way things are. She and her mum Jo live in their little apartment and Charlie is looking forward to the new school year with her friends Lisa and Angela. Then the new teacher, Miss Beckworth, insists on calling her Charlotte, and on making her sit next to Jamie Edwards, the drippiest boy in school. To make matters even worse, Miss Beckworth, who doesn't seem to have a humerous bone in her body, has assigned all the class to do a project on the Victorians, Yuck! What was going to be a great school year is turning out to be perfectly wretched. When Jo comes home with news of changes in her job, and Charlie feels her life is spinning out of control. This delightful book follows the changes in Charlie's life as she tries to get her Victorian project done, cope with her friends growing up and beginning to like boys (Yuck), and endures Miss Beckworth. There is even a delightful story within the story. I couldn't wait to see what happened next and how Charlie would manage to cope. A great book about growing up and changes.

4.0 out of 5 stars the lottie project
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2011
This is about a little girl who basically lives in a flat as small as one room and she only has her mother. One day she goes into school and there is a new but strict looking teacher. She does everything her way and one day she asks her class to make their own project o the victorians. This a very interesting book and it does not only tell you about the little girls life but also about the victorians and how they worked as slaves.

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2002
I have to say, I LOVE this book!! It's funny while facing hard problems. While Lottie and her mom are usually two peas in a pod, her mom gets a boyfriend. Outspoken and funny Lottie is not happy about this! The subplot of this book is that she makes a journal of a victorian slave girl named charlotte. I loved this book, and all girls ages 9 and up should definately give it a try!!!

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2003
I really enjoyed the book and recommend this book to all. This is an 'easy-peasy' (as described by the Lottie). This girl is so charming in her very own way and very much an example for adults to be truthful about yourselves and to express your feeling freely without hypocrasy.

This book pre-dates my meeting my wife Lisa, but at several points, we hear about Lisa falling in Love with David Wood (always including my surname), and the similarities don’t end there. I’m also tall, and most girls wouldn’t touch me with a barge pole.
