Comments: A meandering tale set in the wintry world of Hodeldorf where people can freeze in their sleep... But can the Tattercoats, a gang of brave orphans, return the bitter cold of Hodeldorf to what it used to be?
Main characters: Otto, Nim, Marta, Blink.
Synopsis: Otto and his mother have come to live in Hodeldorf, a city plunged into eternal winter. When Otto's mother mysteriously goes missing he finds himself in the frozen streets, with nowhere else to go. Or does he? Frau Ferber, a Boot polish factory owner, is holding out welcoming arms. But is there more to her scrawny face than it seems?
Review: An adventure story, perfect for the fans of Abi Elphinstone, Michelle Harrison and Kiran Millwood Hargrave. A very Victorian book, great for history enthusiasts, gives you a snapshot into poor children's lives back then. I got quite lost in this maze of a book, it enchanted me,the storytelling is simply brilliant! Read this book and I promise you won't regret it!
