Can the lad stand by and let her be caught again? Of course not, because hes... Dodger. Seventeen-year-old Dodger may be a street urchin, but he gleans a living from Londons sewers, and he knows a jewel when he sees one. Hes not about to let anything happen to the unknown girl - not even if her fate impacts some of the most powerful people in England. From Dodgers encounter with the mad barber Sweeney Todd to his meetings with the great writer Charles Dickens and the calculating politician Benjamin Disraeli, history and fantasy intertwine in a breathtaking account of adventure and mystery. Beloved and bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett combines high comedy with deep wisdom in this tale of an unexpected coming-of-age and one remarkable boys rise in a complex and fascinating world.
