The Midwatch by Judith Rossell

4.0

---

Banished to the Midwatch Institute for Orphans, Runaways and Unwanted Girls, Maggie Fishbone is sure she’s in for a life of drudgery. But she quickly discovers there’s more to the Midwatch than meets the eye..

The city shimmers with jewels and secrets, and soon Maggie is thrust into an adventure that takes her deep underground, high above the clouds and face to face with danger itself.

.

This is a brilliant, adventurous story of orphans which is complemented by sketches throughout the pages.  Who says boys get to have all the adventures and team together against the bad guys?! girls can too! For fans of Lemony Snicket and feel good of old fashioned times.
