Plot twists, big accusations, and plenty of shifty, crooked
characters fill the pages of this harrowing adventure from Newbery
Medalist Avi.
The streets of 1893 New York are crowded and filthy. For
thirteen-year-old newsboy Maks Geless, they are also dangerous.
Bruno, leader of the awful Plug Ugly Gang, has set his sights on
Maks and orders his boys to track him down. Suddenly Maks finds
himself on the run, doing all he can to evade the gang, with only
his new friend Willa by his side. And that's just the start of
Mak's troubles. His sister, Emma, has been arrested and imprisoned
for stealing a watch from the glamorous new Waldorf Hotel. Maks
knows she didn't do it--but will he be able to prove it in
time?
This is a riveting, quickly paced adventure set against a backdrop
alive with the sights and sounds of tenement New York.
