What it's about

An orphan raised in a workhouse asks for more gruel, is sold off as an apprentice, runs away to London and falls in with Fagin's gang of child pickpockets, the Artful Dodger, and the violent Bill Sikes. Dickens's second novel is an attack on the Poor Law and a crime story at the same time.
