Jammy Dodgers on the Run by Bowering Sivers

Jammy Dodgers on the Run by Bowering Sivers

First of two books set in the helter-skelter, “Lor’, love a duck!” world of Victorian London. Featuring a cast of exaggerated caricature figures and some classic screwball comedy episodes, this is entertaining and highly amusing stuff, as well as being an accurate portrayal of life for London’s rich and poor. These fast-paced, funny books follow the capers of the three ragamuffin Perkinski brothers: Billy (5yrs), Ned (10yrs) and Jem (11yrs) as they beg and borrow, steal and scrounge their way through the streets of London. These boys are proud of their professional pick-pocketing skills, and know every jammy scam and dodge going. In JAMMY DODGERS ON THE RUN, Billy goes missing, and his family fear the worst, thinking he’s been taken by the notorious Tooting Terror. (In fact, Billy has been grabbed by an equally evil child snatcher who kidnaps children to work as chimney sweeps.) Jem and Ned come to the rescue of their little brother, and after various comic mishaps and scary situations the boys are reunited.

Born in Middlesex, Bowering Sivers has lived and worked in Zambia, Kenya and Canada - and spent a year in a caravan, travelling around Europe. She now lives in Eastbourne with her husband and two large dogs.
