About the Author Alan Moore is perhaps the most acclaimed writer in the graphic story medium, having garnered countless awards for works such as Watchmen, V for Vendetta, From Hell, Miracleman and Swamp Thing. My favourite part was when Opal got promoted into the paint room at the factory. The story was really absorbing and interesting. My favourite character is Cassie, Opal’s sister, because she’s always there for Opal and she encourages her, instead of discouraging her like her mum. Opal Plumstead is arguably Jacqueline Wilson’s most feisty character, although I think Hetty Feather could just about overtake her! Opal is smart and outspoken, sometimes speaking before she thinks. This is terrible at first, but then she meets the factory’s owner, Mrs Roberts, and her son Morgan, and Opal’s life starts to change. It’s the story of a girl whose father gets put in prison and she has to work at a sweet factory. Opal Plumstead is Jacqueline Wilson’s latest novel, and it’s another one set in the past, before World War I. But the First World War is about to begin, and will change Opal’s life for ever.” And when Opal meets Morgan – Mrs Roberts’ handsome son, and the heir to Fairy Glen – she believes she has found her soulmate. But Opal idolises Mrs Roberts, the factory’s beautiful, dignified owner, who introduces Opal to the legendary Mrs Pankhurst and her fellow Suffragettes. Opal struggles to get along with the other workers, who think her snobby and stuck-up. Yet her scholarship and dreams of university are snatched away when her father is sent to prison, and fourteen-year-old Opal must start work at the Fairy Glen sweet factory to support her family. “Opal Plumstead might be plain, but she has always been fiercely intelligent. In June 1861, shortly after the Civil War began, 25-year-old Clemens joined the Marion Rangers, a pro-Confederate militia. Twain briefly served with a Confederate militia. Clemens’ pen name, Mark Twain, comes from a term signifying two fathoms (12 feet), a safe depth of water for steamboats. He worked on steamboats until the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861, when commercial traffic along the Mississippi was halted. Samuel Clemens was devastated by the incident but got his pilot’s license in 1859. Then, on June 13, disaster struck when the Pennsylvania, traveling near Memphis, experienced a deadly boiler explosion among those who perished as a result was 19-year-old Henry. Samuel Clemens worked on the Pennsylvania until early June. The following year, while employed on a boat called the Pennsylvania, he got his younger brother, Henry, a job aboard the vessel. In 1857, Clemens became an apprentice steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River. His career as a riverboat pilot was marred by tragedy. In 1853, 17-year-old Clemens left Hannibal and spent the next several years living in places such as New York City, Philadelphia and Keokuk, Iowa, and working as a printer. In 1851, he moved over to a typesetting job at a local paper owned by his older brother, Orion, and eventually penned a handful of short, satirical items for the publication. In 1848, the year after his father’s death, Clemens went to work full-time as an apprentice printer at a newspaper in Hannibal.
