About the Book

Dublin, 1859 Bram Stoker: Boy seeking adventure (and things to write about) Molly Malone: Part-time sneak thief and full-time Dublin legend! When Bram and his best pal Molly meet a lonely boy called Sanjit in Dublin’s Natural History Museum, they can see he needs some friends. So they, along with Molly’s gang, The Sackville Street Spooks, take him under their wing. Sanjit tells them the tale of the dread (and very dead) pirate, Captain Lamprey and his links to the Museum. Soon the new shipmates find themselves outwitting vagabonds and villains, hot on the trail of a mysterious long-lost treasure … the Rajapur Ruby! But little do they know that not everyone they come across is who they claim to be! Where CAN that ruby be?

A thoroughly enjoyable page-turner, this warm-hearted and funny adventure is rife with excellent characterisation and a great mix of action and intrigue. Dublin city is lovingly rendered, making you think twice about some of its famous landmarks the captivating narrative voice of young Bram Stoker, adventure seeker and aspiring author, pulls readers into the streets of Dublin city in the late 1850s, a setting as immersive and exciting as the story itself … Nolan’s fun story is full of wit and familiar faces … the sequel to last year’s Sackville Street Caper will have readers craving a third instalment clever, funny and the perfect follow-up to The Sackville Street Caper, this fast-paced story is filled with mayhem, mysterious goings-on and friendship … Dublin, 1858 is well-drawn, filled with all the atmosphere of the time (and there’s a map!) bringing a unique curiosity that’s sure to give young readers incentive and desire to discover more history … Exciting, quirky, intriguing, mysterious and hilarious! I can’t wait for the next instalment! I really enjoyed this book It gave me a jittery feeling in my stomach. I would think this book is suitable for ages 9 and up. At the start there are some complex words. I would recommend this book to people who like pirates, treasure hunts and secrets Set in Dublin in 1859, this is the second book in the popular series which combines adventure with history. When young Molly Malone and Bram Stoker meet a lonely boy called Sanjit in the ‘Dead Zoo’, Dublin’s Natural History Museum, they can see he needs a friend.

A fast-paced and funny yarn Children’s Book of the Week ... ‘brilliant … full of fun and excitement, it’s an ideal page-turning book for those aged eight to nine plus fast, light, and fun … There are some delightfully quirky supporting characters who add to the general silliness … An engaging adventure from start to finish!  rip-roaring adventure … very modern and fun, with strong friendships at its heart … of note are the excellent chapter titles and character names – expect much snorting at puns coming young (and old!) readers! An 11-year-old Bram Stoker, future author of Dracula, and 10-year-old fishmonger Molly Malone team up as child detectives to thwart crime … Nolan, one of Ireland’s finest children’s authors, brilliantly imagines Victorian-era Dublin in these two gripping, edge-of-your-seat thrillers, which are full of laugh-out-loud moments, colourful characters that almost leap from the page and a hero and heroine that you can’t help but take to your heart Alan Nolan’s The Sackville Street Caper introduces us to the young Bram Stoker who runs away from boarding school and meets up with Molly Malone, a street urchin and pickpocket in a fast paced fast adventure set in Dublin of 1868.
