Fagin''s Girl

Orphan Ettie Shaw is all alone on the streets of London, with no home and no money. Her luck changes when she runs into her long-lost brother, Joe, who wants to look after her. But it's tricky. Joe now works for a man called Fagin, along with lots of other boys. The only way Ettie can join him is if she disguises herself as a boy too. 
At first Ettie doesn't realise that Fagin's gang are thieves. But soon Fagin demands that Ettie go out pickpocketing with Joe. Will the truth - and danger - come between brother and sister?
