"An array of other-worldly ghastly beings make this a wonderfully entertaining story with appeal for adults, as well as junior high and high school readers." Publishers Weekly reviewer, BookLife Written with sparkling humor; one of five semifinalists in the Young Adult category of the BookLife Prize. New York, 1895 (Victorian, Steampunk, Fantasy Adventure) Supernatural forces threaten Brooklyn, and it's up to the adopted brother-and-sister team of Genie and Hans to hunt monsters and break ancient curses. They are the youngest reapers at the ghost-hunting guild and tackle their first mission, a haunting, only to discover an Abominable Evil. Genie seeks help from Alice Walker, a high-society lady and airship captain, whose weapons are as elegant as they are deadly. During battle, Alice ends up captured! Genie and Hans swashbuckle their way through Skycracks and the Scourge, Curseweavers and Clankers, using weapons such as the Pneumatic Omni-Directional Ventilator-also known as the dreaded Sucker. In case all else fails, Genie has her pepperbox pistol and Hans is an expert with knives. Their job is complicated by the requirement that Genie conform at all times to Miss Haversham's Primer for Proper Young Ladies, 1895 edition. Will she have the courage, smarts, and manners necessary to remain a lady while she and Hans rescue Alice and conquer unmentionable horrors? READ NOW!
