London was a rather large town back in the 1800s, and still is today. And even though the large town benefited how the English folk lived. It also was filled with criminals who were rotten and dirty.
---------------
In the shadows of London, there was a gang of boys who were ruled by the most wanted person in London. William Sykes. Their trainer, Fagin was like a father to them. And never really listened to William. Even though his demeanour was very intimidating.
There was also lone criminals, like the Silent Bird. She had been an Orphan since she was 6, but fled the horrible place one night. After that occurrence, it had been said she now pick-pockets in London and is as silent as a dead man walking. For 8 years she hasn't opened her mouth to anyone. But will dodger change that?
While pick-pocketing, she comes across Jack Dawkins, otherwise known as The Artful Dodger and he invites her to join 'Bills Boys' and even though she refuses to speak, she might open her mouth to this charming boy.

The cover of this book was made by me. I used the app, Phonto. A cool app where you can make posters or book covers. To get different fonts there is a website that will be linked on the App I presume.
The Silent Bird is portrayed by Kyla Mathews, but will go by the name Emery Bridget.
I am also using the 2005 Oliver Twist characters, so The Artful Dodger will be played by the 2005 version, because the main characters are around the same height.
Sorry for any inconvenience if you were hoping for the 60s Dodger. But it's no problem at all if you wish to imagine him like that. :)
Bye! 💞
