Description

From Sufiya Ahmed, winner of the Best Children’s Crime Novel for Children, comes a fast-paced historical fiction adventure following two Indian boys on a rescue mission in Victorian London.

1865, India. Humza and his friend Ranj set off on a daring quest to find Humza’s missing brother, Dani, in London.

After a terrifying journey, they are welcomed by a seemingly kind Englishman who leads them to an inn. There, Daisy, the innkeeper’s daughter, warns them – they’ve been captured by the notorious child snatcher!

Can Humza and Ranj escape his clutches and find Dani?

‘Moving, action-packed and unforgettable’ Hiba Noor Khan

‘Young readers will find a galloping adventure story…likely to be devoured in a single sitting’ Daily Telegraph
