A fantastical twist on a classic story. Thrown out of the Knip and
Pynch Home for Waifs and Strays, Sparrow is an orphan accompanied
only by her loyal cat Scaramouch and a single clue to her real
family. Sparrow travels to the town of Stollenback where, lost and
afraid, she is taken in by Gloriana, a strange and colourful street
girl. Sparrow thinks she has found a home in the 'nest' - a hideout
for homeless girls run by the beautiful but menacing Miss Minter.
Sparrow is taught to make matches and stay quiet, but all is not as
it seems. And what does the vicious Tapper want with her? As
Sparrow uncovers a web of strange and suspicious secrets she finds
herself at the heart of an undercover smuggling trade with a price
on her head. Kidnapped and locked in the dark coal cellar,
Sparrow's dream of finding a family seems impossible. A wonderful
re-imagining of OLIVER TWIST, Sparrow's adventure realises the dark
secrets of Dickensian London with a fantastical twist for younger
readers.
