Well as the topic says it's a historical fiction about a young girl who befriends Marie Antoinette's daughter. It takes place a few months before and during the French revolution. The girl has an older brother who goes to fight and also tells her to keep away from Marie Antoinette's daughter (can't remember her name) The girl's mother is quite rude not mean but she is real weak and not very nice all the time. I know by the end of the book the royal family has been taken by the rebels and the girl and her mother work in a bar and when they have enough money they decide to go to England to get way

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!

The Lacemaker and the Princess by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley?

"11yo Isabelle is a lace-maker in the town of Versailles. One day as she delivers lace to the palace, she is almost trampled by a crowd of courtiers -- only to be rescued by Marie Antoinette. Before Isabelle can believe it, she has a new job -- companion to the queen's daughter. Isabelle is given a fashionable name, fashionable dresses -- a new identity. At home she plies her needle under her grandmother's disapproving eye. At the palace she is playmate to a princess."
