This is book two of the Borrible trilogy. A wonderful fantasy of the adventures and "wars" of feral children who live in and under London's streets.
Some of their adventures reminded me of my own youth, when I and my friends experienced adventures while exploring miles of storm drains under our town. Looking back now, it probably wasn't the safest pastime and thankfully we never told our parents.
But the adventures of the Borribles also are not safe, and there are casualties in their quest to "win" a name by living through a great adventure in pursuit of a good cause, whether it be finding treasure or saving an old horse. I highly recommend these books to children from 10 to 90.
