I've been getting into some steampunk books lately, and I was happy to see that there's a YA release coming up in a few months from Simon & Schuster. They always manage to satisfy my YA needs. This one is the first in a trilogy called the Secret Order of Modern Amusmentists.
Hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine:
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
A teen girl unravels the mysteries of a secret society and their most dangerous invention in this adventure-swept romance set in Victorian London. When a fire consumes Meg’s home, killing her parents and destroying both her fortune and her future, all she has left is the tarnished pocket watch she rescued from the ashes. But this is no ordinary timepiece. The clock turns out to be a mechanical key—a key that only Meg can use—that unlocks a series of deadly secrets and intricate clues that Meg is compelled to follow.Legacy of the Clockwork Key
