CHARACTERS

Lee Raven
Lee Raven is a thievin’ ratbag and on the run from the police. There’s only three things he’s any good at; toshing, flushing and nicking. And he can’t read. But don’t go thinking he’s stupid…

Billy Raven
Like his younger brother Lee, Billy knows how to hide in the streets of London and he’s got his own reasons for helping Lee.

Finn Raven
Every family has their chancer but the Raven’s have more than most. With Finn also on his brother Lee’s tale, will he succeed in finding Lee and getting his hands on that reward?

Edward Maggs
Tall and stooping, with a big thick moustache, Mr Maggs is a good and honourable man. And he smells funny - all dusty and leathery. But that’s because he runs his own bookshop so works with old books all day long.

Janaki
As Mr Maggs assistant, Janaki looks after him and protect what’s his. Even if that means chasing this annoying kid, Lee, across through the rat-infested sewers of London.

Nigella Lurch
A successful writer of children’s books, Nigella has a vested interest in keeping the Book of Nebo safe.

The Book
Over a thousand years old and with every tale and legend known to mankind, this book has a life of it’s own.
