The Printer's Devil

The notorious inhabitants of London's criminal underworld are all in a day's work for Mog, the young printer's apprentice, who prints their WANTED posters. But then a real-life meeting with a genuine convict entangles Mog in a secret scheme that has all the crooks of the city at each others' throats. An ingenious theft, a series of mistaken identities, and a chilling murder all connect to a ship just docked from India, and Mog's own mysterious past... Evoking Philip Pullman, Caleb Carr, and Charles Dickens, first-time writer Paul Bajoria's original voice and vivid, suspenseful storytelling will enchant young readers.
