What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Packed with suspense, humor, and plenty of recognizable references … Rose and her posse are just getting started.” –Booklist
“Blending homage with reinvention, this unique and emotionally grounded series launch will leave readers eager for further installments.” – Publishers Weekly
“Full of witty humor and inventive characters … ambitious and entertaining.” –Kirkus Reviews
“Fast-paced chapters with twists and turns will keep readers engaged from the first page to the last. … A rollicking adventure that can serve for some readers as a bridge from comic books to novels.” –School Library Journal
“Snappy, charming, and hilarious, The League of Dangerous Young Ladies is a true romp that kept me turning pages way after my bedtime. I laughed a lot. Read this if you love a good found family, lots of banter, and fun twists.” – Jodi Meadows, New York Times bestselling coauthor of My Lady Jane
“The plot is woven elegantly, the characters are rich and distinct, and savvy literary allusions abound, but the true pleasure of this novel lies in its fabulous narrative voice. Swashbuckling, spooky, and silly in equal measure, Morgenstein’s writing is a dagger-sharp and delightfully cheeky celebration of storytelling.” – William Ritter, New York Times bestselling author of the Jackaby series
