Such a fashionable choice of weapon comes in handy when Sophronia, her best friend Dimity, sweet sootie Soap, and the charming Lord Felix Mersey hijack a suspiciously empty train to return their chum Sidheag to her werewolf pack in Scotland.\n\nBut when Sophronia discovers they are being trailed by a dirigible of Picklemen and flywaymen, she unearths a plot that threatens to throw all of London into chaos.\n\nWith her friends in mortal danger, Sophronia must sacrifice what she holds most dear\u2013her freedom.\n\nGather your poison, your steel-tipped quill, and the rest of your school supplies and join Mademoiselle Geraldine\u2019s proper young killing machines in the third  installment in the Finishing School series by steampunk author Gail Carriger.",
