The Tin Princess
Days after she witnesses a mysterious explosion in 19th-century London,
16-year-old Becky Winter is on her way to a small country In Central Europe, as
a companion to Adelaide, a Cockney commoner who'd rather play board games than
be a princess. But after an assassination makes Adelaide ruler of Razkavia, she
rises to the occasion and her new station, gleefully playing international
politics with the help of Becky and Jim Taylor, a dashing young detective.
Fans of Pullman's writing should find much to enjoy here.-- Booklist.
