Diamond wasn’t always a star. Born to penniless parents who longed for a son, she was a dainty, delicate daughter – and a bitter disappointment. Discovering she has an extraordinary natural gift for acrobatics, Diamond tries to use her talent to earn a few pennies. A mysterious stranger spots her performing on the street, and makes a deal with her father. Diamond is sold and is taken to become an acrobat at Tanglefield’s Travelling Circus. Her master is wicked and greedy. But there are true friends to be found at the circus, including the glorious Emerald Star, Tanglefield’s brand-new ringmaster, and Diamond’s heroine. The crowds adore her but when life at the circus becomes too dangerous to bear any longer, what will the future hold for Diamond? And will her beloved Emerald be a part of it?

I still listen to this book (even if it's meant for people a few years younger than me). It's so entertaining, a view into what life could really be like in Victorian times, despite all the rich and fancy lives some people lived. I like the narration too, I think the voice suits Diamond perfectly. I know some people have had problems with some of the voices and Beppo's accent, but I can still make out what they're all saying, and Beppo still sounds cruel so it doesn't matter too much. Overall, great story, I recommend.

The narrator was okay but the girl didn't always sound right. Loved the book itself and my favourite bit was when diamond became star of the show.

Really good book okay narrator

I love this book and literally everything about partially the fact that Jacqueline Wilson links every story she writes in the Victorian era together.

Amazing

I think that diamond is a great book. I listen to Diamond in bed and it helps me get to sleep because there's always something interesting next and I never get board. My fav part is when Addy is washing diamond with the Rainbow bubbles. My least fav part was when diamond was taken away from her home. Over all I think this is a great book.
