Berenice Beetlestone has no patience for fashion. Her brilliance lies in gears and machines—but when her patron is arrested for treason, her survival depends on navigating glittering society. Drawn into the household of Baron Moxham, Berenice must learn that chandeliers conceal whispers of sabotage, ballrooms mask interrogation, and even tea tables can be traps. Every invention she creates could secure her future—or brand her a traitor. In a world of airships and espionage, she must balance invention with deception, integrity with survival. Can a woman of science outmaneuver a society built to silence her? Berenice Bobs Her Bustle is a YA steampunk adventure of invention, betrayal, and determination—perfect for fans of Gail Carriger, Philip Reeve, and Diana Wynne Jones.
