Description: "Jinks opens her projected trilogy in high style, offering a period melodrama replete with colorful characters, narrow squeaks and explosions of ectoplasmic goo." - Kirkus, starred review "This is top-notch storytelling from Jinks, full of wit, a colorful cast of rogues, and delectable slang." - Publishers Weekly, starred review "[A] pitch-perfect narrative. . . This intense historical thriller is rewarding on its own, but A Plague of Bogles is scheduled to arrive next fall." - Booklist, starred review "The book, which is part Great Expectations, part Ghostbusters and a little bit Vindication of the Rights of Woman , mixes monster murder with work ethics and the importance of a girl being able to make a living for herself . . . For all its grime, Jinks's world is rich." - The New York Times "The first in a projected trilogy, this book treats readers to a lively, engaging story with an endearing protagonist at its center." - School Library Journal "This quasi-Victorian, somewhat gothic fantasy is a satisfying confection." - The Horn Book Magazine
