4-6Molly Stout Adventures series.
Teenage engineer Molly knows elemental spirits are dangerous but useful; they power machines like her alcoholic father's airship, which she works on with her older twin brothers. But when she catches a spirit that can speak, she realizes everything she knows about them--and her family's past--is wrong. The steampunk adventure has surprising depth as Molly realizes that even doing the right thing can have deadly consequences.
