The Adventures of the New Cut Gang
Philip Pullman
Benny, Thunderbolt, Bridie, Sharky and the Peretti twins are a mixed bunch of vagabonds and urchins who come together to form the New Cut Gang in two comic tales of stolen silver and skulduggery. Fake coins are turning up all over Lambeth and the finger of suspicion is pointing at Thunderbolt’s dad – could he really be the forger? The crime-busting New Cut Gang come to the rescue! And when just two clues – a blob of wax and a Swedish match – are discovered at the scene of a break-in, the children find themselves on the trail of an extremely cunning criminal. Set in late Victorian London, these gripping thrillers have now been put together in a single volume – with new illustrations throughout from ""Horrible Histories"" illustrator, Martin Brown.
Reviews
I gave this book 5/5 because I thought the adventures the gang had were interesting and enjoyable to read about. Additionally, the text had a lot of old English words which I really liked reading and deciphering.

Two stories in one, I like both but the first, Thunderbolt's Waxwork Is my personal faverite. I think that the plot is quite easy to see in the stories but Philip Pullman is one of my faverite story-tellers

Very goodbook and the mysteries have a very goood plot. The author should make the books a bit more longer.I liked Thunderbolt , or Sam as he is called when not in the gang , because he is so clumsy and is so much like me. I would definitely recommend this book as it has an amazing plot , a lot of suspense and plenty of twists in it. I would recommend it to people of about 8-14. It interested me as the culprit of the crime always changes and the real criminal is the one you least expect.

I didn't like this book because there wasn't much action in it nor comedy or adventure.
