false 210918 31 Sally, now 25, is comfortably settled with her child, Harriet, her work, and her London friends. But when a complete stranger claims to be both her husband and Harriet's father, Sally's whole world comes crashing down around her. With nowhere to turn, she escapes with Harriet into the slums of London's East End--and finds help in some unexpected quarters.<br><br>"Pullman is fast becoming a modern-day Dickens for young adults. The setting is the same, the strong eye for characters is there, as are the brooding atmosphere, the social conscience, and the ability to spin plot within plot. Sally Lockhart is now a young woman, left alone with a toddler. Nothing prepares her for the shock of receiving a summons from a man she has never even heard of, suing for divorce and the custody of her beloved Harriet. Sally struggles against the net closing around her, seeking to find out who is persecuting her and why. The writing style is lively and direct, and there's lots of action. This is a suspense novel with a conscience, and a most enjoyable one."--<i>School Library Journal.  </i> 2385923 1990 The Tiger in the Well (Sally Lockhart Trilogy, Book 3) total:1402|5:315|4:576|3:411|2:88|1:12| 1402 5300 1967 96 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 02 08:14:04 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 07 06:44:46 -0800 2008

The mystery is quite easy to solve, and as a result the book felt a bit long (it took Sally forever to admit it to herself or whatever). However, once the story finally got to the climax, it was very enjoyable watching it all play out.]]> 1 0 false true Thu Dec 18 14:23:40 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 18 14:26:40 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Mon Oct 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 13:17:48 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 13:20:21 -0700 2009
