Praise for this book

"This exciting blend of mystery and alternate history is set against the backdrop of the delayed 1901 coronation of King Edward VII--and suggests a very different reason for the postponement than the illness that history records. An exciting choice for mystery fans who appreciate a touch of the fantastic."--School Library Journal

"Edge is back at the top of his game in this latest genre-bending story of 15-year-old Penelope Tredwell, author and editor of the pulpy Penny Dreadful, and the hapless actor who stands in as her public face."--Booklist

"Fans of mystery or tales of the macabre will find much to like in this well conceived story aimed at middle grade readers."--VOYA
