'I am Cat Royal - Orphan, Adventurer, Actress ...
'Reader, you are set to embark on an adventure about one hidden treasure, two bare-knuckle boxers, three enemies and four hundred and thirty-eight rioters. I was brought up in Drury Lane, so I have become accustomed to a life less than ordinary. But this turn of events, I have to say, surprised even me. Follow me, and I will show you in The Diamond of Drury Lane.'
Exciting, funny and packed with adventure ... Cat Royal never fails to stir up trouble wherever she goes. Julia Golding's award-winning adventure series has all the ingredients of a Philippa Gregory book for children aged 9 years and up.

Cat Royal spins a tale about the search for her family, weaving in friends and foes, old and new. Her journey takes her from riotous London to a revolutionary cotton mill on the River Clyde in Scotland. And a mysterious newcomer is introduced. So take your seats, ladies and gentlemen: the Industrial Age has arrived.

День последней битвы настал. Конни приняла вызов Каллерво. Могучий монстр ждет ее, чтобы отомстить за все человечество. Он не останавливается ни перед чем и обрушивает на Конни всю свою силу, принимая различные обличья. Он возвышается над девочкой, пытаясь поработить ее, а вместе с ней и весь мир.
Сможет ли она спастись сама и спасти тайное Общество?

Конни вызвала бурю, в которой чуть не погибла сама. Об этом стало известно тайному Обществу во главе с вновь избранным Советником - мистером Коддрингтоном. Он создает коварный план по исключению девочки из Общества. Но на защиту Универсала встает древний Минотавр, а вместе с ним и вся сила древних рудников. Он становится ее стражем. Удастся ли им выдержать противостояние?

После победы над коварным Каллерво Конни наконец может расслабиться. Она проходит обучение в Обществе защиты мифических животных, общается с волшебными существами, и, кроме того, ей выпала честь стать посредником только что родившегося дракончика редкого золотого цвета.
Но, как грозовая туча, в жизнь Конни вторгается известие о том, что ее родители желают, чтобы она отныне жила со своей теткой Годивой, которая хочет только одного: разлучить Конни и Общество.
А меж тем Каллерво, выбрав приманкой лучшего друга Конни - Кола, готовит очередное нападение.
Сумеет ли Конни вырваться из-под домашнего ареста и спасти друга?

Узнав о том, что ей придется пожить некоторое время с теткой, Конни не очень-то обрадовалась: что может интересного произойти в небольшом городке у моря? Откуда ей было знать, что ее тетка - участник тайного Общества защиты мифических животных, что мир населяют драконы, водяные эльфы, пегасы и сирены? И могла ли Конни предположить, что она сама - обладательница чудесного дара, который сейчас необходим как никогда: коварный Каллерво сеет раздор между людьми и мифическими созданиями, и миру грозит война. Сумеет ли тайное общество остановить его?

TRAITORS, CAPTIVES, AND A PEOPLE'S REVOLUTION

The third volume of the CAT ROYAL ADVENTURE series takes readers to Paris on a covert mission.

The Theater Royal is closed for renovations, so Mr. Sheridan commissions Cat to act as his spy in revolutionary Paris. Disguised as a ballerina, Cat joins the revolution, only to find that it is up to her to save her friends when they are captured as traitors. Like the previous two books in the series, The Diamond of Drury Lane and Cat Among the Pigeons, Den of Thieves is filled with disguises, danger, drama, and, most of all, the irrepressible Cat Royal.

MYSTERY, DISGUISES, AND A FIGHT FOR FREEDOM.

The second episode in the CAT ROYAL ADVENTURE series plunges readers into the underbelly of London in a mission for justice. Pedro’s old slave master wants him back, but his friends on Drury Lane won’t give him up without a fight. Disguised as a boy, Cat enters an aristocratic boarding school and scales the heights of London society before joining a street gang to probe its depths, all to secure the freedom of her friend. Like THE DIAMOND OF DRURY LANE, CAT AMONG THE PIGEONS features mysteries, theatrical spectacles, the evil Billy “Boil” Shepherd, and, of course, the irrepressible Cat, who never fails to stir up trouble and save the day wherever she goes. Coming in Spring 2009, Cat travels to Paris during the French Revolution in DEN OF THIEVES.

Set in 1790's Covent Garden this book whisks you back to a bygone era, and to embark on an adventure about one hidden treasure, two bare-knuckle boxers, three enemies, and four hundred and thirty-eight rioters.

It is the tale of Cat Royal, an orphan, four foot four with long red hair and not a penny to call her own. She lives in the Theater Royal on Drury Lane, a place filled with dramatic characters, theatrical spectacles, and now, a secret treasure--which Cat has been asked to protect. Her new friend Pedro, a former slave and gifted violinist, is eager to help, and so is the theater prompter, Jonathan, who is hiding secrets of his own. But when the ruthless gang leader Billy Shepherd learns about the treasure, Cat thinks she's going to lose it for sure. She still doesn't know what the treasure is, so how can she keep it safe from Billy and his gang? Follow Cat into the streets of London, as she faces danger and adventure, racing to be the first to discover the diamond of Drury Lane!
