About the Book

Grand adventures begin in this captivating, funny new historical fantasy series. A pompous--and disastrously unlucky--orphan joins forces with his neighbor, twelve-year-old wunderkind and brilliant scientist Ada Lovelace, when his family legacy is threatened by a nefarious group of criminals who steal the map to the Star of Victory, a priceless sapphire that is said to bring its owner success in any battle. George, the third Lord of Devonshire, has been keeping his moldering household and lack of supervision a secret, but weird and wonderful Ada sees through his deception. Even though George would prefer to stay at home and out of harm's way, Ada convinces him that she can help him find the Star of Victory--and, just maybe, his sense of bravery. Accompanied by Oscar, the long-lost son of a infamous pirate, and Ruthie, one very naughty orangutan, they set out for a cross-continent adventure that will change their lives forever

About the Author :
A.M. Morgen comes from a long line of engineers and researchers but chose to pursue literature over the laboratory. She has a degree in English and works as an editor and writer. In her spare time, A.M. enjoys taking walks in the forest, trying out new hobbies (then abandoning them), and complaining about her mean cat. Despite what you may think, A.M. is not a morning person.

Review :
Praise for The Inventors at No. 8: "The breathless plot is jam-packed with roguish thieves, tantalizing clues, and mild intrigue, and the narrative is filled with wry humor and kindness as George gradually gives up his self-centered sense of doom. A pleasing adventure."--Kirkus Reviews "Electrifying, whimsical, and wry, The Inventors at No. 8 is an unmissable adventure for all the future inventresses in your life!"--Sam Maggs, author of Wonder Women and The Fangirl's Guide to the Galaxy "Hidden motives and eccentric characters abound in this rollicking adventure."--WSJ "Morgen pulls off some handy misdirection in her fast-paced debut, and the combination of comical antics, miraculous machines, and a historical setting adds to the appeal."--Booklist "Plenty of hijinks...to please middle-grade adventure readers and lure them back for a second volume."--BCCB "This adventure story is full of inventions, suspense, and mayhem. Ada Byron is a great role model for girls...The novel focuses on the theme of family and friendship while emphasizing that family is not always related by blood. This is a great debut novel by Morgen."--School Library Connection "This jolly romp has plenty of twists and turns, with anchoring themes of family, friendship, and learning to fight for what you love."--The Cleveland Plain Dealer "This raucous adventure keeps a frenetic pace...A great inclusion in STEM-focused fiction collections."--School Library Journal
