In an alternate-1718 Philadelphia governed by powers of alchemy, thirteen-year-old Ruby survives with the swindling skills learned from her pirate father. When the Royal Navy apprehends her father, Ruby resolves to save him. On the lam and unsure who her allies are, Ruby discovers family secrets that could precipitate a war. Despite a clunky start, this middle-grade novel is a spunky, steampunky adventure.
