In this sequel to The Peculiar, Bartholomew meets Pikey, an orphan whose magical eye sees Bartholomew's sister, Hettie, who's stranded in the fairies' Old Country. But Pikey's visions are also valuable to others less well-intentioned than Hettie's brother. This dark fantasy can stand alone; newcomer Pikey is fully realized, as are the dual settings of Dickensian England and the creepy Old Country.
