How to Catch a Bogle is a novel by Catherine Jinks, set in Victorian London. The protagonist Birdie McAdams is an apprentice to a Bogler named Alfred Bunce. A Bogler is someone who hunts and kills Bogles, which are child-eating demons that live in chimneys, sewers, and other dark places. Together, Birdie and Mr. Bunce rid London of the nefarious creatures. How to Catch a Bogle is the first installment in a trilogy, and it’s quite an interesting book. The downside of this book is the large cast of characters, which makes it a bit hard to follow. Overall, I thought the storyline was good, and it involved many twists and turns. I’d rate it a 4 out of 5 stars.
