Which means a reward for Piper if she can get the girl home.\u003cbr\u003e The one sure way to the Territories is the 401, a great old beauty of a train. But a ticket costs more coin than Piper could make in a year. And stowing away is a difficult prospect--everyone knows that getting past the peculiar green-eyed boy who stands guard is nearly impossible.\u003cbr\u003e Life for Piper just turned dangerous. A little bit magical. And very exciting, if she can manage to survive the journey. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Mark of the Dragonfly\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e★ \u003c\/b\u003e\"This \u003cb\u003emagnetic middle-grade debut\u003c\/b\u003e...[is] a page-turner that defies easy categorization and ought to have broad appeal.\"--\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, Starred \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e★ \u003c\/b\u003e\"\u003cb\u003eHeart, brains, and courage find a home\u003c\/b\u003e in a steampunk fantasy worthy of a nod from Baum.\"--\u003ci\u003e Kirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e, Starred \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e★ \u003c\/b\u003e\"\u003cb\u003eA fantastic and original tale of adventure and magic\u003c\/b\u003e...Piper is a heroine to fall in love with: smart, brave, kind, and mechanically inclined to boot.\"--\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, Starred \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"\u003cb\u003eA complex and impeccably developed plot\u003c\/b\u003e--there is plenty to recommend in this novel.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe Bulletin\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Appealing characters and \u003cb\u003elots of action make it a good choice for young adventure readers.\u003c\/b\u003e\"--\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Delacorte Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67550736285928,"sku":"9780385376150","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/9539\/3512\/files\/imageloader_bd5b98e0-98f0-4776-a927-acb78ac79dc7.jpg?v=1790376282","url":"https:\/\/shop.kuumba.app\/products\/the-mark-of-the-dragonfly-1","provider":"Kuumba","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
