Stuck 1855: Lucy Travels East.

Lucy is on her own in 1855! Will she survive? Lucy Baxter is at the forefront of this standalone time travel novella. She imagines she is simply going to take up the position of a companion to a young Victorian girl in genteel London but is surprised when she meets the adventurous Sarah. Or is she Sally? Very quickly, events move out of her control, and she finds herself on a journey that she could not have imagined. She is shocked to find herself face to face with the horrors of the Crimean war and meets both Florence Nightingale and the Jamaican nurse, Mary Seacole.  Separated from her brothers, Lucy is forced to make decisions based only on her own moral code in the hope that they will lead her to safety and success.   'Stuck 1855' is a standalone story and is the fourth book in the 'Stuck' series. The series is an enjoyable and informative read, full of drama with a sprinkling of humour and features adventure stories that blend fiction with actual events and people.   Like all of the books in the series, it can be enjoyed by children 8+, but adults will have a fun read too!
