Summary
Opal Plumstead might be plain, but she has always been fiercely intelligent. Yet her scholarship and dreams of university are snatched away when her father is sent to prison, and 14-year-old Opal must start work at the Fairy Glen sweet factory to support her family. Opal struggles to get along with the other workers, who think her snobby and stuck-up. But Opal idolises Mrs Roberts, the factory's beautiful, dignified owner, who introduces Opal to the legendary Mrs Pankhurst and her fellow Suffragettes. And when Opal meets Morgan - Mrs Roberts' handsome son, and the heir to Fairy Glen - she believes she has found her soulmate. But the First World War is about to begin, and will change Opal's life forever.
The brilliantly gripping new story from the best-selling, award-winning Jacqueline Wilson.

Great Story
Would you consider the audio edition of Opal Plumstead to be better than the print version?
This is the first Jacqueline Wilson book I've listened to before reading the book. I enjoyed the plot but found the voice of Opal to be too self pitying some of the time. I don't know if I'd have thought differently if I had read the book first. I enjoyed the audiobook a lot nevertheless and kept finding odd times during the day to continue to listen to what would happen next.

Such a good book, but so so sad
This is such a good book. Madeline read it so well. Especially the end. When Opal is grieving.

Classic Wilson heroine in the 1900s
This book is good for slightly older readers than Tracey Beaker. The story is full of interesting historical details from the social and economic history of the turn of the last century. Opal is a classic Wilson heroine; intelligent, brave and emotionally literate and enjoyable to read about as she journeys from being a scholarship girl to working in a sweet factory to finding her vocation. An education and an enjoyable delight!
