When the notorious Dick Turpin is hanged, Charlie Feather is watching and learning. At just fourteen years of age, Charley, an apprentice highwayman, knows that betrayal is common and that a short, brutal life may come to a sudden end on the steps of the gallows. Abandoned at birth, shunted from one "foster mother" to another, streetwise Charley trusts no one—especially when there are dark secrets to keep.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
A thrilling adventure of lies, mistrust and humour which raises questions of identity ... Pennington crafts life into this period with her vivid conjuring of place and creation of characters we actually care about. What's more, she does this without leaving the reader bogged down in an excess of historical detail ... This is an exciting novel ... A thrilling ride you should read! -- Clare Sager, Hackwriters.com '... a fast paced story with many plots, twists and gender changes.' -- School Librarian Journal, Spring 06
