(3) YA Hunchback Assignments series. Modo, a boy with a shape-shifting face, is raised in seclusion in alternate-Victorian London to be an agent for calculating Mr. Socrates. Thrust into a treacherous situation about which he knows nothing, Modo finds himself and agent Octavia Milkweed responsible for the lives of helpless children. Felicitous turns of phrase and lots of heart amidst cold-blooded exploits make this a page-turner.
