Synopsis

Deep in the murkiest back streets of old London town, three children are escaping from an orphanage. But lurking in the fog, watching Rose, Lily and Ned, is a king among villains - Mack the Knife! A dreadful fate looks certain until, from out of nowhere, a figure with glowing, red eyes appears. He leaps through the air like a firework - it's Spring-Heeled Jack, scourge of evil-doers!

Media Reviews
A Victorian escapade which will be welcomed, indeed chortled over, by anyone subtle enough to relish the Beano . . . High melodrama, driven by anarchic, breathless plots . . . Print is interspersed with illustrations-plus-speech-bubbles which you must read to stick with the story * TES *
A fantastic adventure which will have even reluctant readers hiding under the cover with a torch * Sunday Express *
A masterly storyteller * Independent Weekend *
A gripping story written in words and cartoons * Recent Children's Fiction *
