When his manservant Frobisher is kidnapped, twelve-year-old George, Lord of Devonshire, sets out with his inventive neighbor Ada Lovelace to find a priceless heirloom with which to pay Frobisher's ransom. Meanwhile, the shadowy Organization tries to thwart them. George's risk-averse nature is a good foil for Ada's swagger, and though the plot is a bit convoluted, the pair's evolving partnership keeps the excitement humming.
