In 1837 London, young daughters of viscounts pined for handsome, titled husbands, not careers. And certainly not careers in magic. At least, most of them didn''t.Shy, studious Persephone Leland would far rather devote herself to her secret magic studies than enter society and look for a suitable husband. But right as the inevitable season for "coming out" is about to begin, Persy and her twin sister discover that their governess in magic has been kidnapped as part of a plot to gain control of the soon-to-be Queen Victoria. Racing through Mayfair ballrooms and royal palaces, the sisters overcome bad millinery, shady royal spinsters, and a mysterious Irish wizard. And along the way, Persy learns that husband hunting isn''t such an odious task after all, if you can find the right quarry.Bewitching Season is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children''s Book of the Year.

It's 1901-a brave new century-and seventeen-year-old Grace Boisvert thinks it's high time to forget that she's a dryad; being able to talk to trees just doesn't seem very useful in the automobile age. A little hair dye to touch up her green roots, and she's off to join her best friend Alice Roosevelt for a visit to glamorous Newport, RI, with her family's warnings not to fall for any human boys ringing in her ears.As it happens, the only interesting boy in Newport, Kit Rookwood, clearly prefers Alice to her. But that changes when he and his family unexpectedly follow them to a secluded Adirondack camp to join Alice's family. Grace finds herself falling in love-and not just with the breathtaking forests.She soon has other worries besides Alice's growing jealousy. The trees whisper to her of dark, angry shadows emerging from their usual haunts high in the mountains because someone is calling them forth--but who, and why? Grace will need all of her dryad powers to avert a disaster for her friends once she finds out...but the danger for her is just beginning.

A best-selling author.A missing manuscript.The readers of London are raging... The popular but reclusive author E.C. Spruce has outdone himself with a delicious new three-volume novel, The Fifty Shades of Udolpho, and all of London—including Annabel and the Lady Patronesses of Almack's—are devouring it. That is, until the third volume begins vanishing from bookshops and bedside tables alike, leaving readers desperate to know how the story ends. Suspecting supernatural forces are at play, Annabel and her fellow Lady Patronesses investigate the literary loss. A clever trap reveals an unexpected (and smelly) culprit, but it appears that plot twists aren't always reserved for the page. Will they be able to bring the thieving mastermind to justice? And could the Marquis of Quinceton actually be more of a help than a disconcerting hindrance? The Vanishing Volume is the second book in The Ladies of Almack's series by Marissa Doyle.
