Summaries and Reviews
Summary
An unabridged reading of Pullman's thriller, set in the murky streets and opium dens of Old London. When 16-year-old Sally's father drowns in suspicious circumstances, she is left to fend for herself. Although she doesn't know it, she is already in terrible danger.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: In search of clues to the mystery of her father's death, 16-year-old Sally Lockhart ventures into the shadowy underworld of Victorian London. Pursued by villains at every turn, the intrepid Sally finally uncovers two dark mysteries--and realizes that she herself is the key to both.
"In Dickensian fashion, Pullman tells the story of 16-year-old Sally Lockhart, who becomes involved in a deadly web of events as she searches for a mysterious ruby. The novel is a page turner, peopled with despicable hags, forthright heroes, and children living on the underbelly of 19th-century London. The story's events are exciting, with involved plotting. Settings and characterizations are exquisitely drawn. The first entry in a planned trilogy."--(starred) Booklist. Reading level: 6.7. Â
