August 2014 Book of the Month Rich in atmosphere and with a great cast of characters, this is an exciting Victorian adventure in which the unexpected can always happen! Gully Potchard is an ordinary kind of boy who tries his best to keep out of trouble and never intends to get caught up in other people’s affairs.
But when he is spotted by a less than attractive old school friend he is propelled into a dodgy world in which the crooked thrive at the expense of the straight. Dogs are going missing – and cats too – and Gully has to protect himself or there is no doubt that he will take the blame. Julia Lee creates a vivid world and weaves a gripping story through it.
Gully Potchard never meant to cause any trouble. He's just an ordinary sort of boy ...at least that what he thinks. But when an old acquaintance comes knocking, it isn't long before Gully is tangled up in a mess of mischief and skulduggery. Cats and dogs go astray, a child is kidnapped, and ransom notes are delivered to the wrong people! But as a storm rages and a fire blazes, Gully discovers that he has an extraordinary skill that might just make him an unlikely hero after all...
