Bleak Expectations by Mark Evans
Bleak Expectations is the remarkable adventures of young Philip Bin as he struggles to rescue himself and his sisters from his guardian, the scheming, evil and badly-named Mr. Gently Benevolent, and the blood-curdling Hardthrasher brothers. A Victorian epic of awful schools, worse prisons, nuns at St Bitches, giant rabbits, and long lost super-hero aunts, in the style of Charles Dickens after far too much gin.
