Zoe's review on "The Ruby in The Smoke."

I am reading "The Ruby in The Smoke," by Philipe Pullman. It's about a sixteen year old girl who's father died. A little while after, she gets a letter telling her to "beware the seven blessings," she doesn't know what that means, so she goes to someone for help. When she tells the person about the letter, he dies. She gets really freaked out, and she goes to the letter for help. In it, it says: "Marchbanks will help Chattum." She tries to contact the man in the letter named, Marchbanks. When she finally does, he starts to tell her about the letter, but gets interrupted by an evil old woman.
I find the book kind of confusing, so far. But it seems like it might get better once I understand it.
