“For all its grime, Jinks’ world is rich…There is ugliness here, but there’s power, too; it’s a taste of life without an adult to look after you, and perhaps for adults, it’s a chance to urge their children down a quiet alley, where the air palls, the shadows twitch, and an odd black smoke has only just this moment begun to bubble up from a dark hole—but in a good way.”
New York Times Book Review
If ever a chill entered her soul, or the hope suddenly drained from her heart, she knew a bogle was to blame.
Birdie McAdam, a ten-year-old orphan, is tougher than she looks. She's proud of her job as apprentice to Alfred the Bogler, a man who catches monsters for a living. Birdie lures the bogles out of their lairs with her sweet songs, and Alfred kills them before they kill her. On the mean streets of Victorian England, hunting bogles is actually less dangerous work than mudlarking for scraps along the vile river Thames. Or so it seems—until the orphans of London start to disappear . . .
