Lady Marguerite Vadnay and her trusty automaton, Outil, have settled into life in New France rather well. Marguerite is the top of her class at flight school and her future as an aerpilot is nearly secure. She has everything she wants—except a commission on the pirate hunting dirigible The Renegade. Using every card in her aristocratic arsenal, Marguerite wiggles her way onto the finest warship France has to offer. But as usual, Marguerite's plans endanger the lives of those she holds dear—only this time no one else is going to save them. As she and Outil set off on a rescue mission they may not return from, Marguerite finally realizes it's time to reorder her cogs. This steampunk adventure is littered with facts from The Golden Age of Piracy and follows (not too closely) some of the lives and adventures of the brave men and women who sailed the seas as privateers, pirates, and soldiers.

      Gr 7-10-Lady Marguerite is back and as headstrong as ever in this sequel to The Perilous Journey of the Not-So-Innocuous Girl. A year has passed, and the heroine is one of the best in her class at flight school. Her handsome suitor, Jacques, is an instructor and remains determined to marry 17-year-old Marguerite. However, she is through having men rule her life and make important decisions for her. The teen is bound to make her own life choices. When Jacques is called to commandeer a mission aboard a dirigible, the Renegade, Marguerite maneuvers her way onto the ship. She doesn't care how dangerous hunting pirates may be or that Jacques has forbidden her to be a part of the crew. So begin a heart-pounding series of adventures that end up with her in more trouble than she bargained for. Fans of the first book will be thrilled with the Lady's new schemes, while newcomers can jump right in without missing a beat. Marguerite stays true to her independent nature, giving readers another complex female protagonist to admire. The love story is woven throughout the tale without overwhelming it, leaving the focus on Marguerite and her escapades. VERDICT Younger YA audiences and reluctant readers will want to strap on their own flight goggles and gear up for this fun sequel.-Carrie Finberg, South Park High School, PA
