Not bad. More in the line of Sorcery and Cecelia than anything else I've read. LOVE Petornella's never-ending vocabulary. Uncle Augustus isn't as thorough in creation as I'd like, but the other characters make up for it.

3.5 stars - needed richer characters. Picked up from the library on impulse because of the utterly beguiling cover. The heroine is 16, but the book is ok for ages about 9 up. The story is an exciting mystery with a bit of romance and a lot of wonderful vocabulary words. I'd have loved it when I was 12. Don't be put off by the structure of the title - it may eventually become part of a series but for now it stands alone just fine as a charming debut.

Interesting combination with this book. I didn't find it that compelling, but the plot had some interesting twists and turns. This author has potential and should be watched.

Enjoyed this on the train ride to and from NYC. I thought the idea of Augustus' problem extremely creative, but sometimes a little squeamish. [I thought the author took great effort to make it palatable by inserting a lot of comic relief or using 'off screen' actions] The language and tone reminded me of some other books I've really enjoyed - the Incorrigible series, Cecelia & the Chocolate Pot, and Flora Segunda.

Do I wish Petronella was less swoony when it comes to a certain young man she knows? Absolutely, but I think her character's heart flutterings are typical for someone her age in her situation, and she is intrepid and does things on her own when she believes she must. She's not a complete rebel, but she's not a hothouse flower, either. It will be interesting to see if she starts leaning more towards one part or the other of her character in future stories [I'm hoping there are future stories], or if this balance is maintained.… (meer)
