(3) YA In 1814 England, banished to Stranje House for "severe" reform, Georgiana discovers a place where the unusual residents are encouraged in their "eccentricities" (for Georgie: her love of science). Georgie's invention of invisible ink helps support the English war effort in this carefully balanced adventure of girl empowerment, spies, and romance. Baldwin acknowledges historical alterations for readers unfamiliar with the Napoleonic era.
