Preview: Hear it

SpringHeeled Jack The name evoked awe from both criminals and upstanding citizens alike. Some thought he was the devil, but he was actually the original superheroleaping over the buildings of Victorian England with the help of springs in the heels of his shoes. The story begins as three young innocents escape their orphanage one dark and stormy night. As they make their way through the treacherous streets of London danger lurks, for hiding in the shadows is Mack the Knife, the most villainous of villains. Enter SpringHeeled Jack, the springiest of heroes. But will Jacks powers be enough to save the orphans? Originally published in paperback,SpringHeeled Jackis backnow as a hardcover with eyecatching new jacket art. From the Hardcover edition.
