(2) 4-6 A church with a labyrinthine basement is the late-nineteenth-century New York setting for a frothy mix of villains, heroes, and mystery as orphaned Robin, trying to save his baby brother from their cruel stepfather, joins a group of street boys in their hideout. Though the book doesn't quite measure up to Wallace's earlier works, devotees of gothic mysteries may nevertheless find it a pleasant diversion.
