Abandoned and alone, you'll do anything to survive…
A gritty new saga from the bestselling author of Outcast Child.
Abandoned on the cold stone steps of an orphanage, only a few hours old and clutching the object which was to give her name, Pearl Button had a hard start to life.
Now 16 years old, she's finally managed to escape the cruel confines of the orphanage, and enter the real world. Finding work at a nearby café, Pearl is thrilled to start earning her own money, even if she must contend with sharp-tongued Dolly Dolby.
But soon she becomes tangled up in the murky South London underworld in which Dolly's son – the cruel but handsome Kevin – operates. By chance, she sees something she shouldn't, something dangerous, and her life is thrown into jeopardy. Can gentle giant Derek Lewis protect vulnerable Pearl from Kevin – and her own heart?
Meanwhile, a local boy is snatched, terrifying this close-knit community, and at the orphanage where Pearl lived out her wretched childhood, the past is coming back to haunt its owner – and the secret she has promised to guard for so many years…

Nobody Girl edition by Kitty Neale Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I really enjoyed this book. I was so involved in the story I was giving advice to the girl as I read! Definitely a great read and interesting look at life in th mid 50's.
A baby abandoned on the steps of an orphanage. As she turns of age, she makes a life for herself and works hard to be part of the community. A child goes missing and the village is uneasy. Sometimes help comes in unexpected ways - you just need faith to keep going
The product was in the condition described and promised by seller. It was a used book so was not in pristine condition, but that was indicated by the discription. The illustrations in the book are lovely and the book pages were very acceptable. The story is wonderful and heart warming.
One of my favorite books when I was growing up was Noboby's Boy also by Hector Malot (also ordered recently from & I was very please with that item too & very happy to have the old edition again in my library). I didn't know that there was a Nobody's Girl & have thoroughly enjoyed it.
I searched for this after enjoying the Perrine television series from the Classics of World Children's Literature. We liked the show, but my children couldn't understand it, as it was never dubbed into English. It took a while to find a reasonably priced copy, but has just about everything. The pages were yellowed from age, but otherwise in good condition. There are no pictures, this is an old fashioned chapter-a-night bedtime story that children as well as adults will enjoy.
This is not a complete edition but a short version of the original. The "Introduction" mention that some parts of the book ("irrelevant for readers in America") were eliminated. Unfortunately, the `s description of the print does not mention that detail.
I had loved this book as a child and had purchased to give as a Christmas gift for family. The font size is absurdly small. Needless to say, I would not insult anyone with this unnecessary reading experience.
I also had ordered 'Nobody's Boy,' by same author, and print is rather large, as though a child's primer. Publisher has taken fine literature and spoiled the reading experience. Who made these absurd decisions?
I was thrilled to find this book was still in print. It’s an excellent story that follows the author’s earlier work, NOBODY’S BOY. I’m 74 years old and still remember both of Hector’s books. That’s how much I liked them. I highly recommend this book for your children.
