Dodger is a tosher - a sewer scavenger living in the squalor of Dickensian London. Everyone who is nobody knows Dodger. Anyone who is anybody doesn't. But when he rescues a young girl from a beating, suddenly everybody wants to know him. And Dodger's tale of skulduggery, dark plans and even darker deeds begins ...
I generally avoid YA books these days thanks to a certain vamp who shall remain nameless, but this definitely now one of my favorite Pratchett books. Terry does such a wonderful job at historical fiction, I could almost smell the sewers & feel the grime of Victorian London's streets.
