Teaser:
"You know that's a gun, right?" Jack's head poked down from the cannon box. "Not a sentient being."This week my teaser comes from The Inventor's Secret by Andrea Cremer. I got this steampunk title when I attended her author signing recently. Here is the description:
"Don't make her angry," Charlotte said, patting the wide double barrels of the gun. "You won't like her temper."
Jack climbed down the ladder. "That's why I keep telling Ash to get you a cat or a bird. Guns aren't proper pets."
New from Andrea Cremer, the New York Times bestselling author of the Nightshade novels, comes an action-packed alternate-history steampunk adventure.
In this world, sixteen-year-old Charlotte and her fellow refugees have scraped out an existence on the edge of Britain’s industrial empire. Though they live by the skin of their teeth, they have their health (at least when they can find enough food and avoid the Imperial Labor Gatherers) and each other. When a new exile with no memory of his escape or even his own name seeks shelter in their camp he brings new dangers with him and secrets about the terrible future that awaits all those who have struggled has to live free of the bonds of the empire’s Machineworks.
The Inventor’s Secret is the first book of a YA steampunk series set in an alternate nineteenth-century North America where the Revolutionary War never took place and the British Empire has expanded into a global juggernaut propelled by marvelous and horrible machinery. Perfect for fans of Libba Bray's The Diviners, Cassandra Clare's Clockwork Angel, ScottWesterfeld's Leviathan and Phillip Reeve's Mortal Engines.
