Nancy Drew meets Steampunk!

Join Willa Snap and her cat, Grayson, on their first big adventure in Grandeur, a city filled with scientists whose ideas are too dangerous to remain Outside.

The mystery begins when a Clockwerk Boy from one of Grandeur’s strange neighborhoods warns Willa she’s in danger—but winds down before he can explain. Grandeur’s as full of secrets as it is inventions: tour the city from the air in a glass-bottomed MiniDirigy, ply its streets from the comfort of a steam-powered rhinoceros cab, or grab a quick bite at the Jolly Rajah Man-o’-War o’ Pancakes—where the french toast is always delicious, and the sea battles are epic. Quick’s the word and sharp’s the action . . . there’s not a moment to lose.

Perfect for fans of The Mysterious Benedict Society, Percy Jackson, Neil Gaiman, and the Artemis Fowl series, this action-packed adventure will take you to places you’ve never imagined, but always wanted to visit.
