Horn Book (Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2015)

Restoration-era actress/spy Beth and fellow spies John and Ralph must save John's sister from anti-monarchist mastermind Henry Vale while the Great Fire of London rages around them (Inferno). The three young spies follow Vale to the Virginia Colony (New World), setting up a potentially interesting plot variation. This series continues to suffer from anachronisms, cardboard villains, and simplistic plots.
