Krimi trifft auf historischen Roman - spannende Unterhaltung für Mädchen ab 10 Jahren London 1826: Die eigenbrötlerische Ada und die romantisch veranlagte Mary stehen vor einem Problem: Nach ihrem erfolgreich gelösten ersten Fall ist ihre eigentlich geheime »Wollstonecraft-Detektivagentur« alles andere als geheim. Und prompt haben sich einfach Marys Stiefschwester Jane und Adas Halbschwester Allegra ungefragt ihrer Detektivagentur angeschlossen. Zum Glück lässt wenigstens der zweite Fall nicht lange auf sich warten. Und der hat es in sich! Schon bald stecken die cleveren Mädchen erneut in einem Wirrwarr aus skrupellosen Erbschleichern, dubiosen Geschäften auf Jamaika und einem mysteriösen Mädchen im Nebel ...

"When Mary Godwin and Lady Ada Byron first meet, they don't exactly hit it off. But with crime on the rise, the unlikely pair form a detective agency to hunt down clever criminals on the streets of London. Their first case involves a stolen necklace, a false confession, and lots of suspicious suspects u but these are no match for Ada and Mary. Filled with daring balloon chases, vile villains and two unforgettable heroines, The Case of the Missing Moonstone is the first in a thrilling new series; perfect for all aspiring sleuths."

When a dinosaur fossil hunter is blackmailed by kidnappers who need her to fake a validation in return of her beloved pooch, Ada and Mary are given three days to find the offenders and save the scientist's reputation.

Teenage swordswoman. Grave-Robber. Arsonist. Nun. Assassin. Superstar. La Femme Nikita of the 1600s. The true story of 17 year old Julie d'Aubigny, who took 17th century Paris by storm, by stardust, and by steel. Queen of the underground dueling scene among the wealthy sons of noblemen, daughter of the King's fencing master, she rose in scandal, blood, and reputation to become the leading star of the Paris Opera. Distilled from French "Yé Yé" pop, 1980s Delacorta beach novellas, and Luc Besson films, Sword Girl: La Maupin is a Rococopunk sugar-frosted hand grenade.

The history-mystery-science series continues as the Wollstonecraft Detectives--Ada Byron Lovelace and Mary Shelley--take on a case by royal request. Ada's imperious grandmother has absolutely shut the Wollstonecraft Detective Agency down--until they get a case from a princess, that is. The princess Alexandrina Victoria, age 9 (who will grow up to be Queeen Victoria), is the most closely watched girl in England. She is never alone. Every morsel she eats is catalogued. Every visitor overseen. Every move noted down. She has but one thing of her own--a sketchbook she uses as a secret diary, where she records her private thoughts in code. But now, somehow, that sketchbook has disappeared. And so the princess enlists Ada and Mary to figure out what has happened to the sketchbook without arousing the suspicions of her minders. A most clandestine case indeed! One that will involve breaking into Kensington Palace and uncovering a host of surprising royal secrets... This funny, Christmas-time romp of a caper will delight history and mystery fans alike.
