Listen up! I've got a fascinating tale to share with you, straight from the ingenious mind of Stacey Lee. Brace yourself for a journey unlike any other, as we dive into the world of Valora and Jamie Luck, a dynamic duo of British-Chinese acrobats aboard the legendary Titanic. Get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions as we follow their ill-fated voyage.
Valora Luck is armed with two precious things: a ticket to the grandest ocean liner on Earth and an unwavering dream of escaping England and pursuing a life as a circus performer in none other than the big apple itself, New York! However, our daring protagonist finds herself thwarted at the gangway, denied entry to the land of opportunity due to her Chinese heritage. Unbelievable, I know!
But fear not, dear listeners, for Valora is a force to be reckoned with. Nothing can hold her back when she sets her mind to it. Determined to board that magnificent vessel, she must find a way. After all, her twin brother Jamie, who has valiantly sailed the treacherous seas for two long years, awaits her on that very ship. Not only that, but a renowned circus owner, whom Val hopes to impress with her incredible acrobatic skills, is also on board.
Our acrobat extraordinaire chooses to become a stowaway, silently navigating the shadows and evading prying eyes. Time is of the essence, my friends, as the clock ticks away the precious minutes. With just seven days until the ship reaches the shores of America, Val must locate Jamie, dazzle the circus owner with her breathtaking performance, and convince him to aid their passage into the land of opportunities.
But just when you think things couldn't possibly spiral any further, one fateful night changes everything. Val's dreams of a new life are abruptly shattered by the overwhelming weight of survival itself. It's a heart-wrenching moment that will leave you breathless.
Oh, and did I mention that this audiobook includes a downloadable PDF of resources from the printed book? That's right, you'll have access to additional material to enhance your listening experience.
So get ready, folks! Climb metaphorically aboard this narrative vessel as we embark on an unforgettable voyage with Valora and Jamie Luck.
