Oliver Twist
It’s no fun being poor like Oliver Twist. After Oliver asks nasty workhouse boss Mr Bumble for more food, he is chased out of the workhouse and left to fend for himself on the mean streets of Victorian London. His luck seems to be changing when he meets the Artful Dodger, a sly urchin who leads him to Fagin’s gang of pickpockets. But then a thieving mission goes horribly wrong. Avoiding prison by the skin of his teeth, Oliver finds himself in the care of kind Mr Brownlow. But Fagin and the brutal Bill Sikes are looking for Oliver, and they are determined to drag him back… This gripping classic of life on the Victorian streets now includes an unmissable introduction from fantasy author Garth Nix.

loved it
If someone asked me what I loved abaut this book, I would have a hard time explaining to him/her what makes this book one of the greatest puffin classics. I loved the suspenceful, mysteries, exciting plot. But my favorate part of the book has to be the characters. Each of them were amazingly lifelike. I recommend this book for kids 11+, simply because of the language, violence, and the complicated plot. This is my first book by Dickens, and I assure you it won’t be the last.
