(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Bill Slavin. Returning with his memorable cast including Emmaline (a fourteen-year-old aspiring aeronaut), Rab (a nearly indestructible urchin), Aunt Lucy (an expert in culinary horrors), and Princess Purnah (a bloodthirsty displaced monarch), Whitehouse strings together a new set of attempted kidnappings, hair-raising chase scenes, and improbable escapes. Slavin's energetic line drawings further enhance this madcap mix of Dickensian London and Holmesian sleuthing.
