(3) YA Clever Agnes Wilkins longs for adventure and romance. But it's 1815 London, and a social debut followed quickly by marriage seems to be her lot in life--until an unexpected discovery gives Agnes more adventure than she'd bargained for. Broadly reminiscent of Lloyd Alexander's Vesper Holly mysteries, the novel throws in some gender-role questioning along with its action and intrigue.
