(2) 4-6 Performers in a Victorian freak show are the heroes in Larwood's first novel. Sheba, a hirsute girl who can morph into wolf form, joins with a "monkey boy," a gigantic man, a Japanese ninja girl with cat's eyes, and Mama Rat to save London street urchins from a predatory group of inventors. Despite some weak writing, this has energy, color, and creative verve.
