About this listen

 Tom Falconer is in trouble. Pursued by the notorious criminal Ratsey, Tom soon finds himself alone and hungry on the streets of London. Luckily enough, the mysterious Dr Mobius soon recruits Tom to play an important role in a play to be performed in front of Queen Elizabeth. Tom knows there’s something not right about Mobius, but he’s willing to take a risk in order to keep his neck out of Ratsey’s murderous hands. Little does Tom realise that Mobius’s dark secret will trap him in the middle of an international conspiracy, holding the fate of the English empire in his hands.©1998 Anthony Horowitz (P)2014 Bolinda Publishing Action & Adventure Fiction Growing Up Growing Up & Facts of Life Music & Performing Arts Theatre England Adventure

Entertaining - what else?
A bit Mark Twain and Dickens - but not brilliant.
Maybe something for young teens during a rainy Sunday afternoon?
