"Set in nineteenth-century England, this is a delightful story
about a courageous, spirited, loveable girl who refuses to conform
to society's expectations. There's plenty of humor, romance, and
mystery as Kat cuts off her hair, disguises herself as a boy, and
turns the lives of those around her upside down."--VOYA, "February
2012
"Romance, humor and magic mark this brisk debut novel, the first of
a trilogy set in an alternative Regency England.... Burgis's
command of the conventions of the genre is evident in
characterization and plot, putting every element in place for a
genteel romp.... Luckily, Kat is on hand to interfere with
everyone's plans. Enjoyable mayhem ensues."--Kirkus Reviews"
"Burgis' debut title rides on its swift pace and the delightfully
feisty Kat, whose fearless and frequently impulsive actions will
have readers cheering her on." --"Booklist"
"Regency romance and fantasy adventure all in one, this is a
satisfying read and a promising beginning to a trilogy that is sure
to be popular with middle school girls." - SLJ
