Etiquette & Espionage ~ Gail Carriger. Editorial Little, Brown Books for Young Readers.

to curtsy properly. It's quite another to learn to curtsy and throw a
knife at the same time. Welcome to finishing school.

Sophronia is the bane of her mother's existence. Sophronia is more
interested in dismantling clocks and climbing trees than proper
etiquette at tea--and god forbid anyone see her atrocious curtsy. Mrs.

enrolls Sophronia in Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for
Young Ladies of Quality.

know that this is a school where ingenious young girls learn to finish,
all right--but it's a different kind of finishing. Mademoiselle

dress, and etiquette, but also in the other kinds of finishing: the fine
arts of death, diversion, deceit, espionage, and the modern weaponries.
Sophronia and her friends are going to have a rousing first year at
school.
