196 pp. | Houghton | June, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-547-15250-9 $16.00
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Jen Corace. In this Victorian-set Nancy-Mitford-meets-Jane-Austen-meets-Lemony-Snicket farce, sixteen-year-old Petronella Arbuthnot's coming-out ball is threatened by her guardian's sudden and unexpected penchant for eating bugs. Sophisticated Victorian language is broken into palatable bite-size chapters.
Reviewer: T. Borregaard
