Book of the Week 26th May

The book of the week this week is 'Wild boy' by Rob Lloyd Jones. The book is set among the rough fairgrounds and grimy slums of Victorian London and tells the story of a boy raised as a freak and displayed in the fairground sideshow.
From the blurd: " London 1841. A boy covered in hair, raised as a monster, condemned to life in a travelling freak show. A boy with an extraordinary power of observation and detection.
 A boy accused of murder; on the run; hungry for the truth."
Ideal for anyone who likes a good murder mystery, especially of the Sherlock Holmes variety.
