    About this series

    Many orphans in Victorian England must resort to begging—but Birdie is busy catching monsters…
     
    If ever a chill entered her soul, or the hope suddenly drained from her heart, she knew a bogle was to blame…
     
    Birdie McAdam, a ten-year-old orphan, is tougher than she looks. She's proud of her job as apprentice to Alfred the Bogler, a man who catches monsters for a living. Birdie lures the bogles out of their lairs with her sweet songs—and Alfred kills them before they kill her. On the mean streets of Victorian England, hunting bogles is actually less dangerous work than mudlarking for scraps along the vile river Thames. Or so it seems, until the orphans of London start to disappear…
     
    This historical fantasy for young readers features an “action-packed story and likable characters” along with a heroine to cheer for (School Library Journal).

      The hunt is on for child-eating monsters in Victorian England in the “wonderfully crafted fantasy series” (School Library Journal).   With the plague of bogles in Victorian London barely contained, bogle hunter Alfred Bunce needs all the help he can get. So Ned Roach becomes a bogler’s apprentice, luring child-eating monsters from their lairs just like his friends Jem and Birdie. It’s dangerous work that takes Ned into mysterious and hidden parts of the city.   But times in London are changing. As the machine age emerges, the very existence of bogles is questioned, and the future of bogling is in jeopardy. And the stakes get even higher for the team of boglers when an old enemy appears—a threat that may be deadlier than any bogle…   “[A] richly atmospheric adventure trilogy.”—Booklist
