(4) 4-6 After her scatterbrained mother is kidnapped, it's up to Hyacinth to unravel secrets (both ancestral and historical) beneath London. Aided by a magical pig, Oaroboarus, who communicates via printed business cards, Hyacinth traverses London's underground rivers, finding allies and discovering strange forms of magic. Wacky characters take precedence over plotting, but the author's re-visioning of Victorian London (and its plumbing) is unique.
