Another journey into the past takes Paige, Dane, and Jack to Victorian London, where they meet two young mudlarks named Hetty and Pip. Even though life is very hard for them, Hetty is leery of seeking help from Dr. Barnardo or other social reformers who might separate her from her little brother. The Time Rose travellers have an idea for getting around that problem, but they're about to have another. Jack the Ripper's grisly attacks on women in the East End have the whole city on edge, and the blood splattered man Hetty and Pip happen across late one night doesn't want witnesses on the loose. "Renee Duke paints a vivid picture of the poverty of the time period. I'm waiting for the 3rd book in the series. Sure I'll like it too." Marva Dasef, author of the Witches of Galdorheim series.
