Despite being "amiably pro forma", as the Kirkus review puts it (and I generally tend to agree with the Kirkus reviewers), this is a fun, well-written mystery, with a charming, believable hero who has made something of his life and overcome some major hurdles yet continues to make occasional mistakes, all of which makes him very human and made me want to meet him again in further installments. Interesting characters, some witty dialogue and some thoughtful insights make this a balanced story, surprisingly lighthearted even though a lot of it takes place among the sad, bleak world of street children. A thoroughly satisfying read.

I literally could not put this book down. Characters where well developed and new twists to the plot kept me at the edge of my seat. Can't wait for the next one!

I read this book about two years or so ago and immediately added Thrasher's name to my list of favorites. Loved the characters and wanted to - needed to visit with them again. Nice to know another's on the way.
