Deep in the murkiest back streets of old London town, three children are escaping from an orphanage. But lurking in the fog, watching Rose, Lily and Ned, is a king among villains – Mack the Knife!
A dreadful fate looks certain until, from out of nowhere, a figure with glowing, red eyes appears. He leaps through the air like a firework – it’s Spring-Heeled Jack, scourge of evil-doers!

Sweet
My favorite character is Mack the knife because he’s the kidnapper and he’s the villain
This wasn’t my favourite book, but it was still cool that it had a superhero in it.
I really enjoyed how the book was a mixture between cartoon strip and normal writing. It was fun voicing all the characters good and bad.
I absolutely reccomend this book! Not only is it fun to read with fantastic twists, it also includes comics in it. It's about 3 orphans trying to escape their orphanage and go to America, it's just amazing...and so is Phillip Pullman - the creator of 'His Dark Materials'.
I reccomend this book for ages 10-13 years old. Great book! 4 stars!
I chose this book because I liked the sound of the story. I thought that the cover of the book looked exciting. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book because the author created a fast - paced, adventurous story. I would recommend this book to adventure lovers.
I recommend this book for children in primary school because it has a mythical creature in but it is suitable for all ages
