Review:

After the dramatic turn of events at Bath, Kat Stephenson has managed to save her elder siblings from disaster and earn back the respect of her fellow Guardians - having stopped the traitorous machinations of the former head of the order. Now, just More...

STOLEN MAGIC was a very satisfying conclusion to a very entertaining trilogy. This middle grade historical fantasy has it all--excitement, danger, exquisite manners, and a young heroine easy to fall in love with.

Miss Katherine Stevenson is the youngest of four children. In this episode, Kat is traveling with her father, stepmama, older brother and older sister to her sister's fiance's home for her wedding. Her fiance's mother is one of the most unpleasant characters in the story. Mrs. Carlyle is More...

“There was nothing in the world quite so improper as magic. That was one of the reasons I loved it so much.”

That tells you everything you need to know to fall in love with thirteen-year-old Kat Stephenson, witch, Guardian, would-be highwayman, constant thorn in the side of her family, and Saviour of England from the dastardly French. When we first met Kat she had hacked off her hair and was running away to be a highwayman, and A Reckless Magick opens, naturally, with her shinning out of a first- More...

Cover Blurb: Yes or No? Yes. I don't mind the character impersonators because I love the illustrations, and Kat's little smirk of mischief. They're really pretty, cute covers.

Characters: Kat Stephenson continues to be a completely awesome protagonist: witty, adventurous, feisty, quick to act (which usually ends with disastrous results, but it makes the story more exciting), and sharp as a tack. She causes a lot of problems for her family, but never her own, and she has the best of intentions, an More...

This third in the Kat, Incorrigible series continues the magical story of Kat who continues to romp through the social rules of the Regency-era with reckless abandon. In this book, she is attending the wedding of her sister Angeline or at least she hopes that it will turn out that way. But someone seems to be trying to kill her, cutting the axle of their carriage. She has spotted someone lingering in the shadows, watching her, but has yet to figure out what she has done to anger them. Kat is due More...

Absolutely fantastic. I've read the other two books in this series, and really enjoyed them. In the "about the author" at the back of the book, Stephanie Burgis says that her favourite books aged 10 were Pride and Prejudice and The Lord of the Rings; here http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/... I likened the first book in the trilogy to a cross between Diana Wynne Jones and Georgette Heyer. Yes, it's that much fun!

Imagine an alternative Georgian Britain where witchcraft is scandalous to polite More...

so i won this on goodreads yaaay!!!! and finally got round to reading it and i have to say it was a great read full of magic (of course), humour and loved the strong female role and shes only 13. i would like to read the other books in the series now.

A delicious romp and a perfect end to this trilogy of Regency magic for middle grade readers. Though I wish it weren't over, I will read anything by Stephanie Burgis.

What a lovely book and great ending to the shenanigans which were Kat and her sisters! I got choked up in the middle. I can't wait to see what Stephanie Burgis has for us!

This cover is so cute!! Can't wait for more Kat adventures!

Brilliant :D

Another please?

I desperately wanted this not to be the end of the series! There is plenty of scope for at least 2 more books! Very readable for or preferably with, the YP in your life.

Very cute conclusion to the Kat, Incorrigible trilogy! I kind of hope that even though this is the end of the trilogy that we get more books about Kat as a teenager, and maybe more with Alexander?

Loved it! Loved it, loved it, loved it. I think this might be favorite of the series. I couldn't finish it fast enough, and I even got a little teary-eyed at the end. Bravo!

Imagine my surprise and glee when I found an ARC sitting on the shelves at HPB!

J. K. Rowling has nothing on Stephanie. I love the Kat series!
