(4) 4-6 Steampunk for middle graders, this time-travel fantasy alternates between Tommy, an orphan from early 1900s New York, and Jezebel, a contemporary girl who comes across Tommy in the basement of her apartment building. Together, the two must save the world from a living corpse. Aside from a slow bit mid-book, this adventure is fast paced, with enough frights and near-misses to keep readers glued.
