I honestly had NO idea this book was written for teens when I got it. All I knew was I HAD to have it because there‘s a part in the novel I‘m writing that focuses on poor children in a Dickensian London-type setting. Written for younger readers or not, this book is a MUST HAVE for all fans of Dickens & those interested in his era. Profound, & eye opening. I actually learned quite a bit from it & reminded me just WHY Dickens is my inspiration ♥️
