 How to Catch a Boggle, by Catherine Jinx. Birdie is ten and an orphan in Victoria, London, but she is very proud of the fact that she is an apprentice to Alfred Bunce Boggler. This is a much better job than being a ragpicker. Her job is to be bait and lure the boggle out of its hiding place so Alfred can capture and kill it. Alfred lost an apprentice to a boggle before and he's very worried about Birdie's safety, and this is the only way he knows how to catch boggles and kill them and save a lot of other children. But now some odd things are happening. Orphans are disappearing and Alfred and Birdie may be in more trouble than they know. How to Catch a Boggle, by Catherine Jinx.
