A Most Improper Magick: An Improper Adventure 1 by Stephanie Burgis
"I was twelve years of age when I chopped off my hair, dressed as a boy, and set off to save my family from impending ruin. I made it almost to the end of my front garden . . ." Magic may be the greatest scandal in Regency England. But that's not going to stop Kat Stephenson when there are highwaymen to foil, sinister aristocrats to defeat . . . and true loves to capture for her two older sisters.
I loved the dynamics between Kat and her sistersIt added to the realness of the story and made it all the more funny ... anyone who enjoys a fast-paced novel full of magic should read this book * Guardian Onine *
