Manners and Espionage - Hardcover

"Charming, funny and full of wit. A perfect steampunk version of Harry Potter."
-Marie Lu, author of the Legend trilogy-

Being able to curtsey properly is another.

Being able to throw a knife while curtsying properly is something else.

Welcome to the school of etiquette.

Fourteen-year-old Sophronia is testing her mother's patience.

While Sophronia is more interested in dismantling watches and climbing trees than etiquette, one of her family's greatest fears is that their daughter will do that terrible curtsy in front of the guests, and Mrs. Temminnick very much wants her daughter to be a lady. So he sends her to Mademoiselle Geraldine's School of Manners for Distinguished Young Ladies.

However, Sophronia soon realizes that this school is not the place her mother expected. Young ladies at school are learning more than just etiquette. In addition to dance, clothing selection and etiquette, lessons in assassination, deception and espionage are also given; Of course, in the most polite way possible.

An exciting first year of education awaits Sophronia and her friends.
