When Tess's big brother and sister go out to look for work, she has to stay in class at The Ragged School and take care of their baby sister Ada. But Tess is determined that even though she is poor, she will still get to go to the ballor at least to dance in the Cinderella pantomime at the Grand Theatre

A captivating Victorian adventure about family troubles and big dreams from the bestselling Jacqueline Wilson.
