Description
Description
A tale of loyalty, loss, betrayal, and rebirth. It is 1911 and London’s docks thrum with underhand deals, none so great as the arrival of a valuable, rare and exotic animal, smuggled from the depths of the Congolese rainforest. The baby gorilla stands to make one man, the shady Goliath Deeds, very, very rich: he and his right-hand man, juvenile pickpocket, Toff Squabble. Heaven help anyone who dares stand in their way, not least the brave and innocent twelve-year-old Nettie Beecroft, who finds herself embroiled in a dangerous rescue attempt where she encounters toshers, bone grubbers and gangsters. Whom can Nettie trust? And can she save the life of this very special creature? ‘This richly atmospheric adventure . . . confirms Earle as a master of his craft’ Daily Mail ‘Nobody writes striking, heartfelt adventure like Phil Earle. I loved it!’ Ross Montgomery ‘It’s a tremendous nail-biting read, tender and terrifying in equal measure’ Jacqueline Wilson Praise for When the Sky Falls: ‘A magnificent story’ Philip Pullman ‘Deeply felt, movingly written, a remarkable achievement’ Michael Morpurgo
