(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Bill Slavin. Spiced with wit and a variety of intriguing implausibilities, the tale of fourteen-year-old Emmaline's imprisonment in a Victorian boarding school swoops and scampers at a very entertaining pace. Emmaline's passion for creating flying machines seems almost ordinary compared with the eccentricities of the rest of the characters who work to rescue her, including her aunt Lucy and the indestructible Rubberbones.
