"a chimney stack looks cold and black, against a twilight sky, but never fear! theres warmth up here, perhaps you'll find out why..."
Elizabeth Astor, a 15 year old journalist is forced to move from Birmingham to London, in order for her father to receive the biggest job of a lifetime. Liz left all her friends behind in Birmingham, and misses them dearly. She doesn't fit in at her new school, her siblings are creating trouble, and her father is raging at her mother. When he gets the job, he..changes. He becomes demanding, and once, even strikes her mother across the face. Bewildered, Liz obeys everything he says, so she doesn't get hurt herself. She sleeps 5 hours a night and hardly has time for journaling. Her father picks up on the behavior, and makes her do all the work that a hired maid would do. He says that spending money is a waste, and would rather have a future housewife do the work.
One day, after a tough exam at school, Liz forgets to sweep the chimney...which is a huge deal. Her father is furious, and slapped her across the face. She silently prayed for help, and at that, there was a shooting star in the London Sky. And next morning, there was a knock on the door. Little did she know who was behind that door would change her life for the better, with help of his magical lady friend, of course.
