4-6Unladylike Adventures of Kat Stephenson series.
Katherine Ann Stephenson is a plucky twelve-year-old heroine with a stubborn streak--and newly inherited magical talents. To save her nineteenth-century English family from financial ruin, unwanted betrothals, and witchcraft scandal, Kat must quickly learn what her powers are, how to use them, and whom to trust. Burgis accessibly blends fantasy elements with an introduction to Victorian society in this enjoyable series-starter.
