Eddie Dickens continues his hilarious adventures in the second book in this best-selling trilogy.
Eddie Dickens narrowly avoids an explosion, a hot-air balloon and arrest, only to find himself falling head-over-heels for a girl with a face like a camel's, and into the hands of a murderous gang of escaped convicts who have "one little job for him to do".
Set in a 19th century world of blotchy skin, runaway orphans and a stuffed stoat called Malcolm, these wonderfully rich and ridiculous adventures will grip and entertain anyone from 8 to 80 (and any 90-year-olds who can lay their hands on a copy too.)
