Waiting on Wednesday


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly post hosted by Breaking the Spine, and it spotlights upcoming books that we as readers are anxiously awaiting...

The Inventor's Secret by Andrea Cremer
Genre:  YA Steampunk
Andrea Cremer's website
Expected publication date:  April 22, 2014
Amazon | Book Depository | Goodreads

Description (taken from Goodreads):
Sixteen-year-old Charlotte and her fellow refugees have scraped out an existence on the edge of Britain’s industrial empire. Though they live by the skin of their teeth they have their health (at least when they can find enough food and avoid the Imperial Labor Gatherers) and each other. When a new exile with no memory of his escape from the coastal cities or even his own name seeks shelter in their camp he brings new dangers with him and secrets about the terrible future that awaits all those who have struggled has to live free of the bonds of the empire’s Machineworks.

The Inventor’s Secret is the first book of a YA steampunk series set in an alternate nineteenth-century North America where the Revolutionary War never took place and the British Empire has expanded into a global juggernaut propelled by marvelous and horrible machinery.

This book just sounds interesting.  And I haven't read any of Andrea Cremer's books yet.  So might as well start with this one, right?  I'm in the mood for a good steampunk.
