This book is a delightful, fast-paced read. I loved the main character of Wild boy. Wild Boy is a child that is covered with hair and was abandoned as an infant and has been raised in workhouse. He is found by the owner of a freak show and taken to live there. Wild boy is treated so poorly, it just breaks your heart. He has learned to be a keen observer of people just like Sherlock Holmes. This is a very good skill to have when he is accused of murder and he and Clarissa, an acrobat in the circus that accompanies the freak show, have to solve the case. This book takes place in Victorian London, which I loved as well as the fantastical sci-fi slant that it has.
