The video is simply for Steampunk fans and is based on the Finishing School series, but is not specifically from Waistcoats & Weaponry.
This book begins with Sophronia and her friends in finishing school, continuing their espionage training. Of course Sophronia excels. In this Harry Potter meets Steampunk series, there is always an adventure that only our heroine is capable of solving. Sophronia and a few of her friends attend her brother’s engagement ball where they witness the mechanicals go crazy. Sophronia (and gang) fly away in an airship and then steal a train with the hopes of solving the mechanical mystery as well as delivering Sidghead to Scotland to deal with a family werewolf issue. Sophronia is caught in a love triangle between the handsome yet spoiled Lord Mercy and the sootie, Soap. It’s a lot of fun!
This series is recommended for fans of Steampunk adventure and is appropriate for upper middle school and up.
