Product Description

Book Description
This story is about Eric, a homeless boy living on the streets of London with Thickpea, his pet rat, and a bunch of homeless people with weird and wonderful characters. Thickpea has some very useful characteristics, that help Eric in the difficult times ahead. One of his friends is kidnapped, Eric finds himself wanted by the police, and he discovers who he can trust the hard way.

From the Author
The story is told in a light-hearted manner,with plenty of laughs along the way. It gives a hint of what it's like to live rough, without a family or a home of your own. It tells what happens when that life is turned upside down by a family's greed. At times of trouble, friends are there to help, including the friend you never knew you had. And it shows how life is not fair, but good can be found in unexpected places.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read For All Ages!, 7 Feb 2008
By A. Robeson "stupid_monkey" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book for a friend but once I started flicknig through it, I couldn't put it down! There's a great collection of eccentric characters for younger readers and a dark enough storyline for elder readers. It all comes together to a wonderful ending with a bit of a twist. Just awesome, and the illustrations are pretty good as well!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!!!!, 21 Jan 2008
By Ms. Georgianna Watson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book for my cousins (7-11), and have found it an excellent tool for keeping them amused. They were delighted with the book, and I now find that whenever I'm babysitting this story is a must before bed time. The plot is exciting and compelling, with believable, well thought-out characters. The main character is someone that most children will be able to relate to. Overall, a well-constructed and developed story. A must-buy!

I bought this book for my grand daughter and having read the first few pages to check it out couldnt put it down ! It is a fast moving mystery with well filled characters and a good mysterious plot. Jill Martin does a n excellent job and I hope it many more of the same genre will follow. Well done
