I think that this book was brilliant, if a little scary. However, I wish that all the loose ends were tide up and l didn't have so many questions after reading the book. l hope there is another one of what happens next!

I really liked the giant man as he was a gentle giant and Sister Moon as she is a good example to girls. i would recommend it to anyone who loves history and mystery.

I thought this was a good book because it is very interesting and adventurous and often stuff that you don't expect there to happen happens, making it as surprising and interesting as it can be. One of the stuff I like about it is that the characters have to find their own way through situations, instead of somebody else. the person I liked best was Sister Moon because she is willing to be kind to good people and she always helps at the right times. It interested me because nothing goes how you want it to and nobody believes the main characters. The title also makes you want to try the book because you wonder " how peculiar is this book." I would definitely recommend it to others because one you start reading you cant stop.

I thought this book was quite good and very fast paced. The character I licked most was gigantus because he was very tall and strong. I would recommend it to somebody else as it is a very good book.

This book is all about history, mystery and adventure. My favourite character is Sheeba as she leads the rest of her friends really well. When Monkeyboy and Sheeba's friend Till goes missing they have to find who took her. Will they find Till in time before she is killed?

Fans of the Greatest Showman will love this book set in Victorian London. Sheba the Wolfgirl lives with a bunch of Peculiars and works for a greedy freak show owner. One day a girl goes missing from the banks of the river Thames and Sheba and her band of misfits become the most unusual crime fighters ever.
