Although not "steam punk" genre, lovers of those kinds of stories might also like our hero, 14 year old Sherlock Holmes. Using his mind with guidance from friends and a tutor, Sherlock solves the mystery of the "death cloud" that is haunting his summer stay at his Uncle's home. Quite a fun read. I am currently starting the second in this series that is due out in mid November of 2011.
Sherlock has been sent to live with his uncle away from his family. His father is on his way to India with the war, his mother is "frail" (a mystery that is not solved in this book), his brother is working in the city and his sister we her little of. His new friend Mattie is the first to tell him of the first body he saw with the mysterious welts and the dark cloud that rises from the body. Together they stumble on a second body. This time it is the gardener of his uncles estate. Soon with help from Mattie, Sherlock's new tutor Amyus Crowe and his daughter Virginia Crowe they discover a plot to bring down the British empire.
A fun fast read that boys will love but girls will want to pick up too.
