When Fever Crumb begins to assist archeologist Kit Solent on a top-secret project involving a long-dead Scriven overlord, she is plagued by memories that are not her own. And Kit seems to have a particular interest in finding out what they are. All Fever knows is what she’s been told: that she is an orphan. Is Fever a Scriven? Whose memories does Fever hold? And why are there people chasing her?Haunting, arresting, and astonishingly original, Fever Crumb will delight readers at every fast-paced, breathless turn.“[An] exciting steampunk adventure . . . Beautifully written, grippingly paced, and filled with eccentric characters and bizarre inventions.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)“Rejoice! Reeve returns to the vivid, violent, steampunky world of his Hungry Cities Chronicles . . . a finely wrought coming-of-age story.” —Kirkus Reviews“Reeve’s captivating flights of imagination play as vital a role in the story as his endearing heroine, hissworthy villains, and nifty array of supporting characters.” —Booklist (starred review)“Reeve is not just an excellent writer, but a creator with a wildly imaginative mind. The future London setting of this story is well imagined and feels like a place Charles Dickens might have described had he been a science-fiction writer . . . A must for any fantasy collection.” —School Library Journal
