The Gingerbread Girl is a pastiche of ''Oliver Twist'' by Charles Dickens, which was published in monthly instalments in 1837. The twist is that the heroine, thirteen year old Amy Watkins, better known to her friends as Ginge, is no victim like Oliver, but a very feisty young lady. The novel should appeal to girl readers between the ages of 9-12 years and is a Christmas book. The date is November and December 1875 and Amy is an orphan living in Bethnal Green in the East End of London. Her seven year old brother Billy, for whom she has sole responsibility, is very sick and in the workhouse school hospital in Leytonstone. Amy bakes gingerbread girls and sells them at Bethnal Green market as a means to survive. She pays rent for a small room in a lodging house, where she has access to the cooking range in the basement kitchen. Elsa, her landlady, threatens Amy with eviction if she does not run her errands. As few houses had ranges, Amy does what Elsa wants and is drawn, unawares, into a criminal underworld of burglary and art forgery. John Constable''s work is said to be easy to forge, so once it is plain that Amy has artistic talent, she inadvertently copies parts of his paintings. She befriends Sweep, a road sweeper, one of a community of characters who live cheek by jowl in the lodging house, and with his help, and support from the other lodgers, she tries to look after Billy and find an escape from the criminals.

Il libro mira alla sensibilizzazione nei confronti degli animali, tutti nessuno escluso. Lo scopo è quello di trasmettere al lettore la verità attraverso la parola: facendo emergere il lato più doloroso che li vede protagonisti, senza però dimenticare la poesia che li distingue, assume il sapore di quella giustizia perduta che merita di essere conosciuta nella sua totale verità. Un viaggio nel mondo animale, tanto nominato, ma poco ascoltato e ancor meno rispettato: dagli animali da reddito, censurati e privati della loro vera identità, ad animali screditati per false dicerie di una ormai troppo passata tradizione, i vostri sensi saranno totalmente coinvolti nel più stimolante dei modi. Il potere della parola accompagnato dall’accecante bellezza delle immagini potrà facilitare l’immedesimazione di quanto scritto. Per valorizzare gli animali anche dal punto di vista morale, non mancano le massime sui valori della vita che da sempre dovrebbero distinguere l’uomo: il confronto è di aiuto per comprendere quanto gli animali siano la salvezza, perché rappresentano il lato più “umano” che io abbia mai visto. Fiducia, rispetto e purezza d’animo sono le tre gocce essenziali che dipingono la loro natura. Ogni vita è preziosa e questo libro ne è la prova.
