(3) 4-6 Orphaned heiress Penelope Tredwell seems like a proper Victorian girl, but she's secretly the author of the ghastly tales in her family's popular magazine, Penny Dreadful. When the mental patients in Bedlam begin writing strange visions of the future, Penelope is determined to investigate--even if it puts her in mortal danger. This well-crafted middle-grade mystery's plucky heroine recalls Philip Pullman's Sally Lockhart.
