Sophronia is not
a proper girl, she is always getting into mischief. So her parents send her off
to finishing school, where she is to become a real lady. But her parents didn't know the whole story –this finishing school teaches all the right skills plus a
healthy dose of espionage and defense. Right from the start Sophronia's new education
is full intrigue!
This was a great Steampunk book! The concept was fresh and fun, the plot was lively and
interesting. My only complaint is that I never really got attached to the main
character, she isn't well developed and the narrator places us one step further back from her. Fortunately the plot is so intriguing that
it carried me through. Students will
love this book!!
