Roll up your sleeves and tie up your apron - it's time to get to work!

As a working-class girl turning twelve in Victorian England, you're about to enter the world of hard work by making life easier for a rich family. Prepare to wait on them hand and foot, lighting their fires, cooking their meals, and cleaning the entire house and everything in itβ€”you really wouldn't want to be a Victorian servant!

The ever-popular You Wouldn't Want to Be series transports readers to some of the grisliest times and places in history, perfect for reluctant readers! The humorous, first-person narrative approach places children directly in the shoes of some of history's most unfortunate people ever to have lived, great for engaging students with the history curriculum and encouraging further non-fiction reading.
