Good book for almost teenagers or young adults - not for the faint of heart due to gory details

Honestly, Darkside's total ineptitude wouldn't irritate me as much as it does if some of the ideas behind it weren't kind of interesting. But while a darker, supernatural version of Victorian London could be really cool, it's ruined by a plot that is overloaded and nonsensical, too many characters with morals and a basic misunderstanding of werewolf lore. If I hear of any of you giving this to children, I will be severely disappointed in you. Just because it's aimed at young boys doesn't excuse poor writing.

I reread this book so I could finish off the series. This is a children’s book that I taught at my last school and I always enjoyed reading it with my yr 7s. There is a good atmosphere built up, with lots of action and really great descriptions - lots for students to get their teeth stuck into and enjoy. A great children’s book for both boys and girls of around 9-13.
