A Perilous Journey of Danger and Mayhem: A Dastardly Plot

It's 1883 — the Age of Invention! A time when great men 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. This exciting alternate-history series is full of hilarity and adventure!

Description

"All that 12-year-old Molly Pepper wants is for her brilliant mother, Cassandra, to be accepted by the Inventors’ Guild and its leaders — Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell. While trying to secure themselves an exhibition space in the upcoming World’s Fair, Molly and Cassandra discover that Bell is plotting to destroy the city with a secret army of robotic death machines. With the help of Bell’s assistant, Emmett, the mother-daughter team joins up with the Mothers of Invention to thwart Bell’s (or is it Edison’s?) evil schemes. Plot twists and banter hit at breakneck speeds in this heartfelt yet tongue-in-cheek look at the tumultuous Age of Invention, and its focus on two often marginalized groups — immigrants and women — allows for relevant social commentary." — Publishers Weekly
