(3) YA Adventures of Arabella Ashby series. Levine's steampunk alternate history shifts the Napoleonic Wars to Venus, where French forces mistreat British POWs. Masquerading as captured Captain Singh's wife, Arabella (Arabella of Mars) launches a mission to rescue her beloved, despite the obstacles presented by a cagey chaperone and by a pirate captain's flirtations. Levine touches on the problematic aspects of colonialism even as the novel as a whole leans toward plucky adventure.
