A Perilous Journey of Danger and Mayhem #1: A Dastardly Plot

A rip-roaring, hilarious alternate-history adventure starring the world''s most famous inventors--and its most forgotten. From the author of the beloved Hero''s Guide series, Christopher Healy. It''s 1883--the Age of Invention! A time when great men like Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Nicola Tesla, and George Eastman work to turn the country into a land of limitless opportunity. And it all happens at the world famous Inventor''s Guild headquarters in New York City--a place where a great idea, a lot of hard work, and a little bit of luck can find you rubbing elbows with these gods of industry who will usher humanity into the future. Unless, of course, you''re a woman. Molly Pepper, daughter of brilliant but unknown inventor Cassandra Pepper, lives with her mother in New York. By day, they make ends meet running a pickle shop; but by night, they toil and dream of Cassandra taking her place among the most famous inventors in America. In an attempt to find a way to exhibit Cass''s work at the World''s Fair, they break into the Inventor''s Guild, where they discover a mysterious plot to destroy New York. The evidence points to the involvement of one of the world''s most famous inventors, and now it''s up to Molly, Cassandra, and a shop hand named Emmett Lee to uncover the truth--even if no one will ever know it was they who did it. "Christopher Healy, author of the Hero''s Guide series, knows how to tell a good story. He''s done it again with the adventures of a determined girl named Molly Pepper."--Brightly, Best Middle Grade Books of Fall 2018
