Beschreibung

A rip-roaring, hilarious alternate-history adventure starring the world’s most famous inventors—and its most forgotten. From the author of the beloved Hero’s Guide series, Christopher Healy. It's 1883—the Age of Invention! A time when great men like Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Nicola Tesla, and George Eastman 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. “Christopher Healy, author of the Hero’s Guide series, knows how to tell a good story. He’s done it again with the adventures of a determined girl named Molly Pepper.”—Brightly, Best Middle Grade Books of Fall 2018
With the fate of New York on their shoulders, can one girl and her mother outsmart the most powerful men of their time?

- STEM for Girls: Meet Molly and Cassandra Pepper, a mother-daughter inventing team running a secret workshop out of their pickle shop, ready to prove that a woman’s place is in the laboratory.- Alternate History: Step into the Age of Invention, where historical figures like Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell aren’t just in textbooks—they might be the villains in a dastardly plot.- Automatons and Inventions: From flying machines made of rowboats to an army of clockwork automatons, this story is packed with the kind of steampunk-inspired gadgets that defined an era of imagination.- Female Empowerment: A funny, fast-paced adventure about a girl who refuses to be told “no,” taking on the stuffy, all-male Inventors' Guild to save the city and claim her place in history.
