The Case of the Missing Moonstone

(4) 4-6 Wollstonecraft Detective Agency series. Illustrated by Kelly Murphy. In a reimagined nineteenth-century London, Mary Godwin, fourteen, and Ada Byron, eleven, form a secret agency to pursue the case of a missing jewel. Percy Shelley and Charles Dickens assist their efforts. The characters are entertaining, but the plot feels forced at times. Detailed bios of the real historical figures and an author's note addressing the liberties taken are included.
