A review by crowyhead
Starcross by Philip Reeve, David Wyatt

4.0

I adored Larklight, and this sequel is also very good. Reeve keeps up the tongue-in-cheek steampunk feel, although overall I didn't find it to be quite as witty as the first. In this outing, Art Mumby, his sister Myrtle, and their mother are inadventently caught up in international (and intergalactic) intrigue when they accept an invitation to the asteroid resort Starcross, which turns out to be more than it first appears.
