Meg lost her older brother, Orion, 6 months ago. She and Mr. Dickens, after believing that they saw him one night, renew their search for him. The clues lead to a mysterious triangle of names. Though, this triangle of names is even more important when, underground, they found children, half-dead, half-alive, and press-ganged into work, forging bolts. Finally, they learn the location of Orion, but can they rescue him in time?

Opinion: 

I thought that, although the book had a good plot and extremely descriptive detail, there was a little too much detail. It seemed like there were too many slow parts in between the exciting. There was not a good balance between dull and exciting. Otherwise, it was a good book, as I said before, I liked the plot, and how you just might be able to figure out the ending, just before it actually happened.
