The Tiger in the Well (Sally Lockhart Trilogy, Book 3)

"Pullman is fast becoming a modern-day Dickens for young adults. The setting
is the same, the strong eye for characters is there, as are the brooding
atmosphere, the social conscience, and the ability to spin plot within plot.
Sally Lockhart is now a young woman, left alone with a toddler. Nothing
prepares her for the shock of receiving a summons from a man she has never even
heard of, suing for divorce and the custody of her beloved Harriet. Sally
struggles against the net closing around her, seeking to find out who is
persecuting her and why. The writing style is lively and direct, and there's
lots of action. This is a suspense novel with a conscience, and a most
enjoyable one."-- "School Library Journal.
