Adrian Montague has a bright future. The sole heir to his fathers estate, he is an up and coming political writer and engaged to an activist who challenges and inspires him. But most young Lords arent battling the debilitating anxiety Adrian secretly lives with, or the growing fear that it might consume him and all he hopes to accomplish. In the wake of his mothers unexpected death, Adrian is also concerned people will find out that he has the mental illness she struggled with for years.

When a newly found keepsake of hersa piece of a broken spyglasscomes into Adrians possession, hes thrust into the past and finds himself face to face with an older brother he never knew he had. Henry Monty Montague has been living quietly in London for years, and his sudden appearance sends Adrian on a quest to unravel family secrets that only the spyglass can answer.

In pursuit of answers about the relic, the brothers chart a course to locate their sister Felicity. But as they travel between the pirate courts of Rabat, Portuguese islands, the canals of Amsterdam, and into unknown Artic waters, the Montague siblings are thrown into one final adventure as they face a ghostly legend that threatens their whole family.

Reviews

Lees writing is as exquisite as ever, in both the nuanced rendering of Adrians emotional landscape and the gritty world surrounding him. Fans and newcomers to Lees trilogy will delight in a swashbuckling tale grounded in compassion and love. School Library Journal (starred review) "Packed with political intrigue, romance (gay and straight), angry pirates, ghost stories and more powerful female leaders than you can shake a cutlass at." ShelfAwareness (starred review) "Series fans can expect another wonderful round of exciting journeys, unique personalities, surprising historical details, beautiful romance, and scrutiny of social-justice issues." Booklist (starred review) Lee crafts an absorbing adventure with dangerous stakes, dynamic character growth, sharp social and political commentary, and a storm of emotion... An enticing, turbulent, and satisfying final voyage. Kirkus Reviews Praise for THE LADYS GUIDE TO PETTICOATS AND PIRACY: [Lee] develops a world rich in historical detail, crafts a plot wild with unexpected turns, and explores complex topics like colonization and identity. An empowering and energetic adventure that celebrates friendship between women. Kirkus Reviews(starred review) An incredible, must-have follow-up full of old characters and new, blood and guts, and a delightful barrage of sarcasm. School Library Journal (starred review) This action-driven adventure is a joy. ALA Booklist (starred review) Abeautifully brilliant story about feminism, female friendship, privilege, sexism in the 17th century, and doing all you can to fulfill your passion and dreams. Buzzfeed A feminist feast that challenges societal norms and forgoes all romance, which is unconventional, albeit refreshing, in young adult literature. BookPage [A] strong feminist credo. The Horn Book The Ladys Guide to Petticoats and Piracyis fun while still being thoughtful, feminist, and an ode to female friendship. Bustle Praise forTHE GENTLEMANS GUIDE TO VICE AND VIRTUE: Tongue-in-cheek, wildly entertaining, and anachronistic in only the most delightful ways, this is a gleeful romp through history. Monty is a hero worthy of Oscar Wilde. ALA Booklist (starred review) The books exquisite, bygone meter and vernacular sit comfortably on a contemporary shelf. And the friction of racism, tyrannical entitled politicians, and misguided disapproval of homosexuality also have a relevance rooted in current cultures xeno- and homophobia. Austen, Wilde, and Indiana Jones converge in this deliciously anachronistic bonbon. Kirkus Reviews(starred review) This is a witty, romantic, and exceedingly smart look at discovering ones place in the world. A stunning powerhouse of a story for every collection. School Library Journal (starred review) A gloriously swashbuckling affair. Publishers Weekly (starred review) Mackenzi Lee (This Monstrous Thing) combines her knowledge of European history with a contemporary, comic sensibility to create an over-the-top romantic adventure complete with cliff-hanging chapter endings and sometimes outrageous narration. Monty is a licentious, flawed and engaging 18th-century hero. Shelf Awareness (starred review) Gentlemans Guide to Vice and Virtueis the queer teen historical you didnt know was missing from your life. Teen Vogue (Best Queer Books to Celebrate Pride 2017) A rollicking ride that also turns a keen eye to issues like class, racism, homosexuality, and identity. Brightly Careening from fete to fiasco on a Grand Tour of 18th century Europe, THE GENTLEMENS GUIDE TO VICE AND VIRTUE is a dizzying, dazzling, and roguishly romantic romp. This book makes me want to unrequite my own love so I can requite him all over again. Heidi Heilig, author ofThe Girl From Everywhere Dont read this book unless you like adventure, hijinks, and forbidden romance, and if you do, then read it twice. Stacey Lee, author ofThe Secret of a Heart NoteandUnder a Painted Sky An outrageously fun, witty, fascinating, and romantic adventure, starring a memorable trio Id happily travel with for ages. Lee is a definite force in diverse historical YA. Dahlia Adler, founder of LGBTQ Reads and author ofUnder the Lights A swashbuckling, fantastical coming-of-age adventure that quite simply swallowed me whole. AudibleEditors Pick
