A Spy in the House by Y.S. Lee
Rescued from the gallows in 1850s London, young orphan (and thief) Mary Quinn is surprised to be offered an education, instruction in fine manners — and an unusual vocation. Miss Scrimshaw's Academy for Girls is a cover for an all-female investigative unit called The Agency, and at seventeen, Mary is about to put her training to the test. This is the first in a series of four books about Mary Quinn. It is available as an ebook through Brookline Library and Overdrive.

Teaching Books
This is a central database for books and authors. If you are a teacher planning a unit or a student wondering about your favorite author, this is a great resource for you!
Books in a Series
I frequently use this site to figure out the order of books in a series, a question students frequently ask. Want to know the title of number 11 in the Wings of Fire series? Not sure about the order of the Pseudonomynous Boch books? Which book came first in the Henry and Mudge series? This site will give you the information you need!
