Barking Spiders!
The best man for a job is a girl; a fifteen-year-old girl posing as a boy that is.
For those who love adventure and science fiction, this is a great new young adult series by Scott Westerfeld. Complete with amazing illustrations, Leviathan is a combination of historical fiction (WWI) and science fiction (advanced machinery of German Clankers and animal cross-breeding of British Darwinists). There are two main characters, Prince Aleksander and airman Deryn Sharp. Deryn, however, steals the show.
Happily, the second in the series, Behemoth, is already here but we will have to wait until October 2011 for the final book, Goliath.
