In the gaslit backstreets of Victorian London, a scrappy band of young misfits known as the New Cut Gang are determined to prove themselves the sharpest detectives in Lambeth — and the results are as chaotic as they are brilliant. The Adventures of the New Cut Gang brings together two riotous tales: in Thunderbolt's Waxwork, the gang must outwit a cunning criminal to save young Thunderbolt's father from disgrace, while The Gas-Fitters' Ball plunges them into a web of theft and deception that only their street-smart ingenuity can unravel. Illustrated with vivid energy by Martin Brown, these stories crackle with the sights, smells, and sounds of a London teeming with rogues, secrets, and adventure at every cobbled corner. Philip Pullman — the visionary mind behind His Dark Materials — brings his masterful storytelling to a younger audience without sacrificing an ounce of wit or invention. Written with a sharp comic timing and a genuine warmth for his characters, Pullman illustrates the power of loyalty, courage, and collective cleverness against a richly rendered historical backdrop. Readers who think they know what the New Cut Gang is capable of should prepare to be delightfully surprised.
