Praise for The Transatlantic Conspiracy

A Top 10 Young Adult Fall Read from Amazing Stories

"Dangerously charming."
--William Alexander, National Book Award winning & New York Times bestselling author of Goblin Secrets "[An] Agatha Christie-esque mystery . . . Fantastical alternate history details blend seamlessly with multifaceted characters and tightly woven elements of intrigue, suspense, and romance to create a story, and a world, that will long linger in readers' imaginations."
--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "[The Transatlantic Conspiracy] has everything; political intrigue, class warfare, tech upheaval, spies, murder, a smattering of romance. A page-turner for sure."
--FreshFiction.com "An undersea Murder on the Orient Express . . . A frenetic thrill ride of plots and counterplots, daring escapes, [and] grand gestures."
--Kirkus Reviews "[Rosalinsd's] sleuthing provides twists and turns that keep everyone fully involved in this pre-World War I steampunk adventure. The balance of romance and espionage is sure to keep all readers interested."
--School Library Connection "The underwater train is described in glorious detail; its dining car, library, and staterooms evoke unwelcome comparisons to the Titanic."
--VOYA "Great world-building, and fast-paced action."
--School Library Journal "What starts as a diverting steam-powered jaunt for two affluent young ladies takes a sharp turn into a fast-paced, perilous murder mystery. The Transatlantic Conspiracy excites and electrifies and pulls the impossible past just a little closer."
--William Ritter, bestselling author of Jackaby

"Rosalind is a nice mix of American can-do attitude (with a dash of steampunk ingenuity) and nonconformist teen girl... death, intrigue, and cool machinery in a zippy, steampunk-friendly read."
--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
