Emilie and the Hollow World by Martha Wells
3.0
Emilie runs away from her uncle and aunt (her mother’s brother and his wife) because they’re too restrictive and want her to get married to an upstanding young man and have children. She wants an education and because she reads adventure novels, she decides to stowaway on a ship that will take her to her cousin’s school for girls.
But things happen and she winds up on another ship that takes her to the inside of the earth, a place known as Hollow World where adventure awaits.
This was very fast paced. Not sure who the target audience is, though. It reads like middle grade but touches on some YA topics but then the narrator made it sound like it's for the 8-12 crowd.
It reminded me a little of [b:Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos|472392|Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos (Theodosia Throckmorton #1)|R.L. LaFevers|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348525782l/472392._SX50_.jpg|2143025] but not as cute.
