But when times become hard, she is forced to leave school and work as a nursery and kitchen maid.   The war begins and her home, workplace, and all she knows are blown to pieces. As a result, she has to go to work as a maid at a boarding school in the country. Rhiannon is surrounded by schoolgirls, no cleverer than her, learning and playing while she toils from 5am to 10pm.   When she borrows a book from the school library, to get her First Class Badge, she is accused of stealing and is told the books `are for young ladies not for the likes of you'. But when a schoolteacher insists on helping her, she gets to study with the Royal Society of Arts and gets the opportunity to join a local Guide Company.   But things become tricky when Rhiannon's best friend comes to the school as a pupil. Can pupils and servants be friends, or is the divide between the rich and poor too wide?Will Rhiannon get the chance to prove to those around her that being a maid is just as good and important as being a pupil?Including cover art by Blanka Szonda.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56307565298037,"sku":"9781805142805","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781805142805_5cc0c4d3-3eb2-4662-88b7-d7cf92886bc4.jpg?v=1762804431","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781805142805","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
