STUCK 1855

Lucy is stranded in 1855—alone and unprepared. Can she survive? Lucy Baxter thought she was simply taking up a position as a companion to a young Victorian girl in genteel London. But from the moment she meets the spirited and unpredictable Sarah—or is it Sally?—nothing goes as planned. Swept up in a whirlwind of adventure, Lucy soon finds herself far from the safety of her present-day school. She is thrust into the heart of the Crimean War, where she comes face to face with the horrors of battle—and the legendary Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole. With her brothers nowhere in sight, Lucy must rely on her own courage, wits, and moral compass to navigate a world unlike anything she has ever known. Stuck 1855 is a thrilling standalone novella and the fourth book in the Stuck series—a collection of exciting, historically rich adventures that blend fiction with real events and figures. Full of drama, intrigue, and a touch of humour, it’s perfect for readers aged 8+ and anyone who loves immersive historical fiction. Fans of The Time Shifters by Kate Frost or Voyage of the Sparrowhawk by Natasha Farrant will love this gripping tale of time travel, survival, and self-discovery.
