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.

Amazing
This audio book is absolutely brilliant and I love it so much. I would say that it is for 12 and over as it is quite sad at some points( especially the end ). I recommend it if you like history. I 💜 it!!

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.

Opal Plumstead
I personally loved this story the narrator was very good at reading this book she was very good at the different voices and just the overall book was very well written although I would have liked a bit more of a happy ending but still you can see that Jacqueline Wilson put a lot of time and effort in to this book and it really shows I would deffenitly recommend this book to people over the age of 10 as it is quite sad at times but great book and I loved it.

good but a tad problematic
I really liked the narrator. I'm rereading this the last time was when I was about 9 and I found it a little problematic because she was 14 and morgan was 18 but the time was different and what was acceptable was different, surprisingly I didnt have too much issue with cassie and mr evandale I guess because she was an adult as well but still a lot younger. I loved the characters and I thought that morgan was very sweet and didnt push opal wish made me a bit more comfortable with the relationship. overall I liked if but just the ages were a little problematic.
