A teenage adventurer gets wrapped up in her father's dastardly schemes in this children's novel by the author of The Wolves of Willoughby Chase.
Dido Twite is finally back in London and reunited with her old friend Simon, now the Duke of Battersea and a favorite of King Richard. But no sooner does Dido start to settle in than her rascally father, Abednago, appears and drags her off into the night.
Soon Dido finds herself caught in the midst of another dastardly conspiracy: a Hanoverian plot involving a mysterious double for the king, the miraculous healing powers of music, and a spy network made up of abandoned street children called lollpoops. Meanwhile, out in the forest, starving wolves are closing in on the city . . .
Dido and Pa is the seventh book in the award-winning Wolves Chronicles, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

      Simon, first met in Aiken's The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, meets up with Dido Twite in Dido and Pa (1986), which PW called "a tempestuous and atmospheric sequel to The Stolen Lake." Here, Dido returns to England only to be sucked into her father's dangerous plot to usurp the King's power. "Almost nonstop, the story's thrilling actions rush onward."

      This latest reissue of one of Aiken's pseudo-historical Wolves Chronicles features the scrappy and indomitable Dido Twite and her repellant father Abednego, who is still plotting to help overthrow King Richard and put Bonnie Prince George on the throne. The action careens along at breakneck speed, the dialogue crackles, and the author creates a cast of unforgettable characters.
