The Ministry of Curiosities #1
Charlotte (Charlie) Holloway has been living in Victorian London hiding in plain sight as a teenage boy in the slums. When she finds herself in trouble, her only escape is to use her gift of necromancy to raise someone from the dead. She's only done it one other time, and this time it will cause even more attention to fall upon herself. Attention that may put her in danger.
This story had a great premise and good characters. It opens up a lot of questions and storylines that, I'm sure, will continue into the sequels. Historical fiction is always interesting to me and this one proved itself to be highly entertaining.
Recommended. Four smiles.
Note for parents/teachers: This one deals with death (obviously) but nothing overly disturbing.
