Summary: With the plague of bogles in Victorian London barely contained, bogle hunter Alfred Bunce needs all the help he can get. So Ned Roach becomes a bogler’s apprentice, luring child-eating monsters from their lairs just like his friends Jem and Birdie. It’s dangerous work that takes Ned into mysterious and hidden parts of the city.
But times in London are changing. As the machine age emerges, the very existence of bogles is questioned, and the future of bogling is in jeopardy. And the stakes get even higher for the team of boglers when an old enemy appears—a threat that may be deadlier than any bogle…
Book 1 How to Catch a Bogle
Book 2 A Plague of Bogles
Thoughts: The final installment in this thrilling trilogy, The Last Bogler does not disappoint! After the wild ride Catherine Jinks has lead us on so far, I had high expectations for this book and was a little worried with its slow start. But it quickly picks up the pace and takes a turn that no one saw coming, culminating in a strangely satisfying conclusion.
Content: This series is definitely creepy and could be categorized as scary even for younger audiences and non-horror fans like Ants. There's a bit of mild language and some violence. A good read for preteen ages and up.
