There's a golden rule in Phantom City: "No one about when the Zeppelin
is out." But one night, twelve-year-old Charlie Crane comes face-to-face
with the Zeppelin, and instead of finding trouble, she is awakened.
Determined to find the truth in a city plagued with lies, Charlie, along
with a quirky band of unlikely heroes, works to free the people of
Phantom City from the clutches of a shadowy, evil villain. Helped by a
mysterious Architect who only communicates over radio and telephone,
Charlie wrestles with two big questions: Can she trust a guide she can't
see? And is the truth actually worth the trouble?
Filled with sinister schemes, bumbling superheroes, unexpected
friendships, and plenty of humor and plot twists, The Architect keeps
readers on the edge of their seats. Boys and girls alike will be
fascinated by the unique world of Phantom City, with its steampunk and
Gotham City-type elements and will quickly find themselves cheering for
our heroes in their fight against evil.
