      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: Philip Pullman is in top form with this riveting YA mystery full of all the underworld villainy and Victorian intrigue that 1870s London can muster. Narrator Anton Lesser is a marvel delivering the voices of a vengeful hag with oversized dentures, street-tough children, dazed opium smokers, and 16-year-old Sally Lockhart and her array of intriguing, steadfast friends. Lesser deftly navigates London's many accents as Pullman's quick plot turns from terror to humor. THE RUBY IN THE SMOKE is the first in the Sally Lockhart Trilogy, and Anton Lesser is cast to play all of the trilogy's characters and perils. K.C.

        November 3, 1988
        This comical adventure about a girl who longs to follow in her father's footsteps crackles with Pullman's (The Golden Compass; Clockwork) usual flair. Lila desperately wants to be a firework-maker like her widower father. Although he has raised her amid the dancing sparks, he wants her to have a husband rather than a vocation. With the help of her entrepreneurial friend Chulak, the personal servant to the king's talking white elephant, Lila tricks her father into revealing the secret to his profession, then bravely departs to retrieve the royal sulphur from Razvani the Fire-Fiend at the heart of a volcano. Pullman marries elements of fairy tale with slapstick humor as Lila outwits a vaudevillian band of pirates and scales jagged mountains on her quest. Gallagher's (Blue Willow, reviewed above) softly focused graphite drawings lend magical mystery as Lila fearfully contemplates the dancing fire imps at Mount Merapi and emphasize the absurdity as the elephant, his flanks emblazoned with advertisements, kneels before the Goddess of the Lake in order to save Lila from Razvani. If the tale, first published in Britain in 1995, isn't as polished as Pullman's other works, it's worth the trip just for the climactic fireworks scene in which Lila gets to show her stuff. Ages 8-12. (Oct.) FYI: As of September, Pullman's Sally Lockhart Trilogy is being reissued in paperback: The Ruby in the Smoke; The Shadow in the North; and The Tiger in the Well; as well as The Tin Princess, which features characters from the trilogy.
