'''Longlisted for the CILIP Carnegie Medal 2013'''
 
It would be hard to imagine any book by Frances Hardinge being anything but excellent. She has a knack for creating bizarre characters whose actions, somehow, make sense because they live in utterly fantastic but well-structured worlds. If you then add to the mix, as she does, a determined and thoroughly endearing young heroine for whom you simply have to stand up and cheer, then you are guaranteed a pleasurable and thought-provoking read.
Anything Frances Hardinge writes is worth reading. Try [[Fly by Night by Frances Hardinge|Fly By Night]] and the sequel [[Twilight Robbery by Frances Hardinge|Twilight Robbery]] about a resourceful young girl called Mosca, set in another truly extraordinary world.
