Agatha H and the Siege of Mechanicsburg

Praise for Phil and Kaja Foglio's Girl Genius Series Filled with folgian touches--Borscht-belt comedy accents, things that go sproing, adorkable sentient machines, and laugh-a-minute slapstick-- Agatha H. is a tremendously fun addition to the Girl Genius canon. --Cory Doctorow, award-winning author of Little Brother and Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom The Hugo Award-winning Foglios present their popular gaslight fantasy comic in novelized form, maintaining the zany energy, witty repartee, creative characterization, and innovative world-building of the original. --Publisher's Weekly This volume by the creators of the Eisner Award-nominated webcomic Girl Genius (Volumes 1-9) is a fantastic reintroduction to the Girl Genius world and will definitely capture new fans.
