Rabid mechanical dogs and action-packed duels permeate this engaging novel set in a steampunk Victorian London. Charlotte and her sword-fighting friends repel the metal beasts, but, predictably, her father, surgeon to the Queen, ignores his daughter's allegations. Eventually Charlotte's spirited character wins her father over as she battles gender roles and a devilish plot to kill the Queen.
