Oliver Twist doesn't ask for much - just a little more. When a hungry orphan speaks up, he's hurled from the workhouse into London's maze of alleys, where charm comes cheap and danger wears a friendly grin. Scooped up by a nimble crew of pickpockets and their smooth-talking handler, Oliver must navigate smoky dens, sudden kindnesses, and close calls - keeping hold of a stubborn belief that goodness can still win out. Dickens turns the city into a living, breathing character: noisy, funny, menacing, and impossible to forget. This is a tale of found family, slippery morals, and a boy who refuses to let the world decide who he is.
