Finishing School, 1. Etiquette & Espionage / Gail Carriger
Titre de série : Finishing School, 1 Titre : Etiquette & Espionage Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gail Carriger (1976-), Auteur Editeur : New York [USA] : Little, Brown and Company Année de publication : 2013 Importance : 307p ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-316-19010-7 Langues : Anglais Langues originales : Anglais Résumé : ''It's one thing to learn to curtsy properly. It's quite another to learn to curtsy and throw a knife at the same time. Welcome to Finishing School.''
Fourteen-year-old Sophronia Temminnick is a great trial to her poor mother--her atrocious curtsy is an embarrassment to the family name. So Mrs. Temminnick enrolls her daughter in Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality.
But Sophronia soon realizes the school is not quite what her mother might have hoped. At Mademoiselle Geraldine's, young ladies certainly learn the fine arts of dance, dress, and etiquette, but they also learn to deal out death, diversion and espionage--in the politest possible ways, of course. Sophronia and her friends are in for a rousing first year's education.
Set in the same world as the Parasol Protectorate, this YA series debut is filled with the same saucy adventure and droll humor Gail Carriger's legions of fans have come to adore.Nature du document : Roman Réservation

Titre de série : Finishing School, 2 Titre : Curtsies & Conspiracies Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gail Carriger (1976-), Auteur Editeur : New York [USA] : Little, Brown and Company Année de publication : 2014 Importance : 310p ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-316-19020-6 Langues : Anglais Langues originales : Anglais Résumé : Does one need four fully grown foxgloves for decorating a dinner table for six guests? Or is it six foxgloves to kill four fully grown guests?
Sophronia's first year at Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality has certainly been rousing! For one thing, finishing school is training her to be a spy (won't Mumsy be surprised?). Furthermore, Sophronia got mixed up in an intrigue over a stolen device and had a cheese pie thrown at her in a most horrid display of poor manners.
Now, as she sneaks around the dirigible school, eavesdropping on the teachers' quarters and making clandestine climbs to the ship's boiler room, she learns that there may be more to a field trip to London than is apparent at first. A conspiracy is afoot--one with dire implications for both supernaturals and humans. Sophronia must rely on her training to discover who is behind the dangerous plot--and survive the London Season with a full dance card.
In this bestselling sequel to New York Times bestselling Etiquette & Espionage, class is back in session with more petticoats and poison, tea trays and treason. Gail's distinctive voice, signature humor, and lush steampunk setting are sure to be the height of fashion this season.

But 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.
