Patrick and Maura O'Connell are two Irish kids from a small village called Killony trying to voyage to America to join their father. Also trying to get to America is young Sir Lawrence Kirkle, the second son of a very rich man in London. He runs away from his home in London because his older brother Albert abuses him. Obviously, his older brother does not like him. Albert pays Matthew Clemspool to get his brother out of England. In order to get to America, they have to take a boat to Liverpool. When Maura and Patrick get to Liverpool, they have tickets to stay at the Union House, a Hotel for immigrants going to America. There are other places to stay in Liverpool, so a group of people try to take the lost immigrants to other places that aren't as nice so the people that run them get some money from the immigrants. Ralph Toggs is one of those people and takes Patrick and Maura to a very dirty place. Imagine being lost, not knowing what to expect next in a city full of people trying to make you go the wrong way. You don't know who to trust, who not to trust, where to run, or where to hide. This book is amazing and suspenseful. Avi keeps you guessing at the end of every chapter. Trust me, if you pick up this book, you won't put it down.
