An absolute riot of a read – funny and page-turning

-- Louie Stowell, author of the Loki series

plots unfold in perfect tandem, thrills and comedy equal throughout, and it’s all sprinkled with literary references to DickensThe characters convince, even the cockney-rhyme spouting villains, and the settings – a tale of two cities – do too. This is a page-turning treat for young readers and lucky the teacher or parent who gets to share the story
