The Noblemans Guide to Scandal and Shipwrecks

[A] strong feminist credo. --The Horn Book A beautifully 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 rollicking ride that also turns a keen eye to issues like class, racism, homosexuality, and identity. --Brightly Praise for THE GENTLEMAN'S 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) Don't read this book unless you like adventure, hijinks, and forbidden romance, and if you do, then read it twice. --Stacey Lee, author of The Secret of a Heart Note and Under a Painted Sky Careening from fete to fiasco on a Grand Tour of 18th century Europe, THE GENTLEMEN'S 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 of The Girl From Everywhere An outrageously fun, witty, fascinating, and romantic adventure, starring a memorable trio I'd happily travel with for ages. Lee is a definite force in diverse historical YA. --Dahlia Adler, founder of LGBTQ Reads and author of Under the Lights A swashbuckling, fantastical coming-of-age adventure that quite simply swallowed me whole. --Audible Editor's Pick The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy is fun while still being thoughtful, feminist, and an ode to female friendship. --Bustle Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue is the queer teen historical you didn't know was missing from your life. --Teen Vogue ( Best Queer Books to Celebrate Pride 2017 ) 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) 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 is a witty, romantic, and exceedingly smart look at discovering one's place in the world. A stunning powerhouse of a story for every collection. --School Library Journal (starred review) This action-driven adventure is a joy. --ALA Booklist (starred review) A feminist feast that challenges societal norms and forgoes all romance, which is unconventional, albeit refreshing, in young adult literature. --BookPage Praise for THE LADY'S 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) The book's 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 culture's xeno- and homophobia. Austen, Wilde, and Indiana Jones converge in this deliciously anachronistic bonbon. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) A gloriously swashbuckling affair. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
