Double Trouble at the Dead Zoo Molly Malone & Bram Stoker Synopsis
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' - Irish Examiner
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' - Irish Mail on Sunday
'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!' - Fallen Star Stories
