Synopsis
Barnaby Grimes is a tick-tock lad, high-stacking his way across the rooftops of his city in search of adventure and mystery. In each tale, he encounters a supernatural force and must battle the horrors that await him.
In this new adventure, Barnaby finds himself in the fiercely competitive world of early photography, where the rewards are immense but so are the risks. After an experiment goes disastrously wrong, Barnaby is on the trail of a mad chemist with a talent for disappearing into thin air. . . .

From Booklist
In this fourth Barnaby Grimes book, the starring character is a “tick-tock lad” who delivers messages illegally through rooftop runs that give him a unique perspective on a fantastical version of Victorian London. Barnaby is also something of a sleuth, and to absolve a client of her brother’s mysterious murder, he must navigate a motley milieu of aristocrats, servants, police, scholars, and artists. The case ultimately hinges on a chemical mixture for developing photographs; the brew’s side effects include both invisibility and psychological transformations reminiscent of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Stewart and Riddell’s play on the predictable conventions of gothic melodrama will probably go over the heads of young readers, but that will not diminish their enjoyment of the story. Whimsical touches such as the introduction of a protoskateboard by Barnaby’s friend Will Farmer will add to the appeal. Barnaby Grimes fans will enjoy this latest adventure in the series. Grades 4-6. --Miriam Aronin
