Archie, Hachi and Fergus are now part of the League of Seven
- so they believe. Scaling the Cahokia of the Clouds, they manage to
retrieve the Dragon Lantern - only to have it stolen by Kitsune, a foxed-eared
girl who can cast illusions. Archie must part with his friends in order
to chase her down and retrieve the Lantern, but his friends have another
important mission to follow - who killed Hachi’s father an other so many years
ago? The friends will find other allies along the way, but they will also
uncover very dangerous secrets and betrayals.
I have not read the first League if Seven book, but I wasn’t
lost or confused. Instead, I thoroughly enjoyed a mysterious, adventure-packed
steampunk novel written for a younger and middle audience. I know
steampunk has really caught on fire for children, but know your audience and
your students.
