Steampunk Rat - A Boston Metaphysical Society Story (Steampunk)

by Madeleine Holly-Rosing

Overview

Nominated for a 2013 Steampunk Chronicles Reader's Choice Award.

All that fifteen year old Jonathan Weldsmore wanted to do was design and build steam ships to sail on the high seas. Treated like a poor relation within his own wealthy family, he had little hope of obtaining the future he desperately wanted. That is until he rescued and transformed an injured rat into the mechanism of not only his salvation, but his family’s as well.
