Illustrated by
Sarah Watts.
Bogler's apprentice Ned Roach risks his life with each new case, luring a child-eating bogle so his mentor, Alfred Bunce, can dispatch it; that's only one of the dangers, for Alfred has drawn the attention of London's criminal underworld. Fans will appreciate this trilogy-ender's (How to Catch a Bogle; A Plague of Bogles) accessible prose; inventive, briskly paced plot; and quasi-Victorian setting. Glos.
