"Great characters, vivid descriptions, fashion, food and intrigue."
"Fabulous 3rd in a series that's already collected 2 Aurora nominations & an 'Alberta Book of the Year' win."
"I love the kite-baskets that carry people to work, and all the imaginative steampunk inventions. But best of all are the characters."
Maddie Hatter's third Adventure takes her to 1899 Venice. With her friend Lady Serephene, she penetrates an exclusive Carnevale Costume Atelier for sneak peeks at the season's most extravagant disguises. Soon Serephene's flirting madly with a Scottish inventor in his airship laboratory...until he and his fabulous new fabric are targeted by spies from Europe's Great Powers. Surrounded by cloak-and-dagger games, Maddie must find allies among Venice's underdogs if she hopes to survive Carnevale's spectacular grand finale.
