Montmorency: Thief, Liar, Gentleman?
By: Eleanor Updale
Age Level: Middle Grade
Montmorency is a social-climbing gentleman, while his alter ego, Scarper, is a petty criminal. Scarper moves through London's sewers to commit robberies in wealthy neighborhoods, while Montmorency flaunts his wealth. The action in the sewers adds plenty of grossness to keep this Victorian tale from becoming too stuffy.
