Splendors and Glooms
by Laura Amy Schlitz
When twelve-year-old Clara Wintermute mysteriously disappears the day after her birthday, suspicion falls upon puppeteer Gaspare Grisini. Gersini's two young assistants, Lizzie and Parsefall, question Grisini's role in Clara's disappearance. As Lizzie and Parsefall learn more about Gersini, they begin to uncover dark secrets from his past, including a connection to a cursed witch named Cassandra who has sinister plans of her own.
Set in 1860 London, Splendors and Dooms is a creepy, twisted tale of magic and mystery. I was so drawn into this book that I could not put it down until it was finished! This exciting book is a great choice for readers who enjoy mystery, fantasy, and historical fiction.
