The Boy with the Latch Key - Cathy Sharp

"Heartache and hardship in London's East End" - "Сердцеедство и трудности на Восточном Энде Лондона"

From the bestselling author of The Orphans of Halfpenny Street - "От бестселлерного автора 'Сироты Халфпенни-стрит'"

It's the 1950s and the orphans of Halfpenny Street have found a new home in the Essex countryside at Halfpenny House - "Это 1950-е годы, и сироты Халфпенни-стрит нашли новый дом в сельской местности Эссекса, в Доме Халфпенни."

Meanwhile, back among the slum clearances of Bethnal Green, St Saviour's has now been partially given over to a home for disturbed girls, though it still serves as a reception centre for local children who are in desperate need - "Тем временем, среди сноса трущоб Бетнал-Грин, Святой Спасительский приют стал частично приютом для девочек с проблемами, хотя он по-прежнему служит приемным центром для местных детей, находящихся в отчаянной нужде."

Amongst these are Archie and his sister June. They've been 'latch key' kids, fending for themselves while their caring but harassed and careworn mum tries to make ends meet - "Среди них Арчи и его сестра Джун. Они были 'домашними' детьми, выживавшими самостоятельно, пока их заботливая, но измученная и истощенная мама пытается свести концы с концами."

Now she's been accused of theft, and prison seems inescapable - "Теперь ее обвиняют в краже, и тюрьма кажется неизбежной."

Archie has no intention of letting his mum go down. He knows she's innocent and will do anything to prove it - "Арчи не собирается позволять своей маме погибнуть. Он знает, что она невиновна, и сделает все, чтобы это доказать."

But can he help his mum before adoption and the authorities take him and June away forever? - "Но сможет ли он помочь своей маме до того, как его и Джун заберут навсегда приемные родители и власти?"
