Sally Lockhart-- RUBY in the SMOKE, SHADOW in the NORTH

[IWillFly]

I have started to read the Sally Lockhart books and was wondering if anyone else has read them. They are really good books, so far I have only read the first two and am starting the third. I have the fourth one but was wondering if it was as good as the other ones?

I havent read them for years, but i seem to remember they were good. The Ruby in the Smoke was on TV last Christmas i think.

Really, like a movie?

The fourth one? You mean another novel of Pullman's the barely mentions the name Lockhart? The Tin Princess, I assume?

Anyway, I read these a couple years back - wonderful books, like everything of Pullman's, but I don't think they're for children. I mean, there is an awful lot of possible murders, and a WHOLE LOT of drugs - mainly, opium. Add crime lords and other random bad stuff in there, and the trilogy is not for kids.

p.s. Already a Pullman thread here: http://anthonyhorowitz.com/msgboard/index.php/topic,2830.0.html

Yeah, I was sad when I heard that the only main character that would be in the fourth one was Jim, who I love!

It was a full length TV adaptation starring Billie Piper. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0498382/

I love these books ^^.
I'm sorry though, because I'm going to have to lock this. As Savvy said, there's already a Phillip Pullman thread. (http://anthonyhorowitz.com/msgboard/index.php/topic,2830.0.html, in case you didn't see it).
