4.0

first thing i would like to say is that this book is slightly ableist.
"invalids" are described as making up their disabilities and medical needs for attention and so its easier to boss people around.
i hope this is just Springer trying to reflect the views of the time, and not her actual opinions. another thing is that i read this all in one day and so i didn't really have time to work things out on my own.
i did figure out the code was Morse code before Enola though, so I'm going to become a detective now.
a fun book which changes Enola's world and i can't wait to see what happens next.
