Abstract:
A simplified retelling of the adventures of an orphan boy who lives in the squalid surroundings of a nineteenth-century English workhouse until he becomes involved with a gang of thieves. With big type, short chapters, plenty of artwork, and a text geared to a high-second-grade reading level, this skillful adaptation conveys the mood and excitement of the original in a format that will appeal to younger readers and older reluctant readers.
