From Sufiya Ahmed, winner of the Best Children's Crime Novel for Children, comes a fast-paced historical fiction adventure following two Indian boys on a rescue mission in Victorian London.

1865, India. Humza and his friend Ranj set off on a daring quest to find Humza’s missing brother, Dani, in London.

After a terrifying journey, they are welcomed by a seemingly kind Englishman who leads them to an inn. There, Daisy, the innkeeper’s daughter, warns them—they’ve been captured by the notorious child snatcher!

Can Humza and Ranj escape his clutches and find Dani?

Moving, action-packed and unforgettable - Hiba Noor Khan
