The Tiger in the Well

Sally Lockhart is now a young woman, left alone with a toddler. Nothing prepares her for the shock of receiving a summons from a man she has never even heard of, suing for divorce and the custody of her beloved Harriet. Sally struggles against the net closing around her, seeking to find out who is persecuting her and why.

Pullman is fast becoming a modern-day Dickens for young adults. The writing style is lively and direct, and there's lots of action.
