Maddison, Kate The Incredible Charlotte Sycamore, 282 p.
Holiday House, 2013. $18.
Violence: PG.
Violence: PG.
Something sinister is
stalking the streets of London.
When Charlotte, the daughter of Queen Victoria’s personal
physician, is out on a jaunt with
her palace friends, they run straight into trouble and now she and her two
friends have contracted rabies – a deadly disease in that time period. But their attackers were not human –
they were mechanical dogs, purposefully coated with the disease. Charlotte can’t get anyone to believe
as she tries to explain about the dogs and it is up to her to save her friends,
herself and possibly all of England.
Steampunk is catching on only very slowly in YA lit, partially because
historical fiction is not very popular.
This is a decent addition, but will need to be hand sold to
readers.
