I am Cat Royal - Orphan, Adventurer, Actress ...Meet the feistiest heroine in children's historical fiction. My life has taken many unexpected turns, but this one is the most astonishing of all. The Caribbean is as far removed a place from London as one can possibly imagine, and I soon find myself amid slave revolts and swashbuckling pirates. Actresses must keep their calm at all times but this adventure will test my mettle more than any challenge I have yet faced. Exciting, funny and packed with adventure ...Cat Royal never fails to stir up trouble wherever she goes. Julia Golding's award-winning adventure series for girls has all the ingredients of a Philippa Gregory books for 9+ girls.

Her work as a diplomat took her from the high point of town twinning in the Tatra Mountains to the low of inspecting the bottom of a Silesian coal mine. On leaving Poland, she exchanged diplomacy for academia and took a doctorate in the literature of the English Romantic Period at Oxford. She then joined Oxfam as a lobbyist on conflict issues, campaigning at the UN and with governments to lessen the impact of conflict on civilians living in war zones. Married with three children, Julia now lives in Oxford. The Diamond of Drury Lane won the Nestle Children's Book Prize 2006 and the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize 2006.
