 An ongoing series by Julia Golding, set in the late 1700s, follows the adventures of orphan Catherine "Cat" Royal. The books are told in the first person. The series so far:Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Diamond of Drury Lane: Cat is introduced as the heroine. She lives and works at the Drury Lane theater, where she was abandoned as an infant and taken in by the owner, Mr Sheridan. Her main adversary is Billy "Boil" Shepherd, a gang leader, and her oldest friend is Syd Fletcher, who leads the opposing street gang against Billy. She makes friends with Pedro, an escaped slave now working at the theater as a musician and actor; Johnny or Lord Jonathan Fitzroy, also working at the theater and as the political cartoonist "Captain Sparkler", a runaway lord, and the love interest of Lady Elizabeth of Avon; and Lord Francis and Lady Elizabeth of Avon. The mystery of the book is: What is the Diamond of Drury Lane? Cat Among the Pigeons: Pedro's old slave master, Mr. Hawkins, is after him. Cat manages to get on the wrong side of Mr. Hawkins and has to run away, disguise herself as a boy, and enroll in Lord Francis's - or 'Frank', as he is referred to from now on - school. She has to save Pedro and stop him from getting recaptured. Billy "Boil" Shepherd shows a (very slightly) better side of himself - but after saving Cat's life, demands a favor in return from Cat. Den of Thieves: Drury Lane is being demolished, Cat has a bad experience with a tricky publisher, and Billy has called in his favour, demanding the impossible task of getting a piece of the crown jewels, or Cat staying with him. Mr. Sheridan sends her as a spy to France during the French Revolution (mainly out of curiosity as to what's going on). The duke and duchess of Avon are imprisoned, as well as their children Francis and Elizabeth. With the help of Johnny, and J-F, local 'King of Thieves', Cat has to find out a way to get her friends free from prison, while trying to avoid the new dangers of J-F's world. Cat o'Nine Tails: Cat, Syd, Frank and Pedro find themselves pressganged into the British navy (for someone's ulterior motives). After escaping, Cat meets up with some Native Americans. She needs to find her way back to her friends, and work out who is responsible for the pressganging. Black Heart of Jamaica: Cat and Pedro decide to earn a living as a duet of acting and music. The two travel to Jamaica and learn that slavery is still common - and that Mr. Hawkins has made an appearance. He kidnaps Cat and she falls ill with malaria. Billy rescues her but forces her to own a slave. Cat then gets involved with a slave revolt, but Pedro tells her to leave while he helps his fellow Africans get freedom. She and Billy leave together. The Middle Passage: A short novella mostly centering around Cat and Billy bonding. Cat's Cradle: Upon her return to London, Cat receives a letter which could contains clues to the identity of her real family. She travels to Scotland with her new friend Bridgit to find out if the letter is true, eventually leading her to discover her half-brother, Rabbie.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })These books contain examples of the following tropes:
