It's 1888, and Verity Newton lands a job in New York as a governess to a wealthy leading family - but she quickly learns that the family has big secrets. Magisters have always ruled the colonies, but now an underground society of mechanics and engineers are developing non-magical sources of power via steam engines that they hope will help them gain freedom from British rule. The family Verity works for is magister - but it seems like the children's young guardian uncle is sympathetic to the rebel cause. As Verity falls for a charming rebel inventor and agrees to become a spy, she also becomes more and more enmeshed in the magister family's life. She soon realises she's uniquely positioned to advance the cause - but to do so, she'll have to reveal her own dangerous secret.

Reviews for Rebel Mechanics

Verity, a spunky, highly believable, well rounded character . . . keeps the reader turning the pages. --<i>VOYA</i></p> It is 1888, and the Magisters, the magical British upper-class, rule the American colonies after their devastating victory in the American Revolution. The rebels now look elsewhere--to science and engineering--for the power to help them overthrow British rule. Seventeen-year-old Verity Newton comes to New York City looking for work and is quickly swept up in the revolutionary fervor of the young mechanics, engineers, and scientists who befriend her. . . . Recommend to fans of Gail Carriger's The Finishing School series. . . . a whole lot of fun. -<i>School Library Journal</i></p> Steampunk fans will enjoy this gadget-filled costume drama. -<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></p>
