“This is top-notch storytelling, full of wit, a colorful
cast of rogues, and delectable slang.” —Publishers Weekly,
starred review of HOW TO CATCH A BOGLE
Jem Barbary spent most of his early life picking pockets for
a wily old crook named Sarah Pickles—until she betrayed him.
Now Jem wants revenge, but first he needs a new job. Luckily
Alfred the bogler, the man who kills the child-eating
monsters that hide in the shadows of Victorian London, needs
a new apprentice. As more and more orphans disappear under
mysterious circumstances, Alfred, Jem, and Birdie find
themselves waging an underground war in a city where science
clashes with superstition and monsters lurk in every alley.
