Queenie is the brilliant new book from bestselling author Jacqueline Wilson. It's 1953, the year Elizabeth is to be crowned Queen of England and Elsie Kettle can't wait to go to London to see the celebrations on Coronation Day. Elsie lives with her Nan (her mum works as a showgirl, so she's not around very often). She and Nan are very close but Elsie longs for a best friend. Then tragedy strikes. Nan and Elsie both fall ill, and Elsie finds herself whisked away to the children's ward of the hospital...
