(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Karina Raude. In this Dickensian adventure set in 1849, narrator John Huffam is fourteen. His father is in debtors' prison, and wealthy Great-aunt Euphemia won't help. Except for our honest narrator, no one is quite what he seems. Atmospheric crosshatched drawings plus plenty of imagery vividly evoke Dickens's London. Just the thing to read aloud, if your audience doesn't grab it first.
