Summary: This book is a shortened version of the original Oliver Twist geared towards younger readers. Oliver is a workhouse orphan who is mistreated. he runs away to London to have a better life, at least he had hoped. His chance at a better life lies in the hands of thieves and a man who follows his every move. He chases thieves and tries to figure out the mystery of handkerchiefs and jewels. This frightens Oliver, but he knows that he has to figure out the mystery. Oliver finally meets Mr. Brownlow who loved him very much and gave him books to study each day to learn how to live a better life.
I would use this book to interest the students since he is a young boy. Many students will be able to relate to him.
