Review
"In Dickensian fashion, Pullman tells the story of 16-year-old Sally
Lockhart, who becomes involved in a deadly web of events as she searches for a
mysterious ruby. The novel is a page turner, peopled with despicable hags,
forthright heroes, and children living on the underbelly of 19th-century
London. The story's events are exciting, with involved plotting. Settings and
characterizations are exquisitely drawn. The first entry in a planned
trilogy."--(starred) "Booklist." Reading level: 6.7.
