(2) YA Five-year-old Victorian slum denizen Ivy acts as a shill. When we next meet her, she's fifteen and addicted to laudanum. A "stunner," she's hired as an artist's model. Bobbing-and-weaving storytelling ensues, including a plot to dispatch Ivy and an unexpected reunion. Hearn keeps readers engrossed as they journey with Ivy from doped-up sleepwalker to young woman with a self-selected future.
