All the odds are against her. She's young. She's female. She's from the rough end of town. But there's nowt ordinary about Lena Matthews.

When thirteen-year-old Lena is taken from Manchester's back-to-back terraces to the imposing Norfolk House in the Derbyshire mill town of Glossop after a family tragedy, she expects safety. Instead, she finds a house full of secrets, whispered conversations and people who seem determined to hide the truth.

The servants watch everything. The family keep their own counsel. Beyond the walls of the great house, the mills and surrounding hills hold stories that refuse to stay buried.

Trouble is, Lena's never been good at keeping quiet.

Bright, outspoken and fiercely determined, she asks the questions nobody else dares to ask. But in a world where girls are expected to know their place, curiosity can be dangerous. As Lena uncovers the hidden lives of those around her, she discovers courage she never knew she possessed — and learns that even the smallest voice can challenge the biggest injustices.

Warm, compelling and rich in historical detail, Glossop Girl is an unforgettable coming-of-age novel about family, friendship and finding your voice against the odds.
