McElderry (2001) ISBN: 0-689-87787-0
Score: 1.5
Start of the Dark Reflections juvenile fantasy series, about an orphan in an alternate Venice under siege by an army of mummies. Short book which ends somewhat abruptly, and it seems the next one will deal mainly with religious aspects of this world: the characters seem to be Christian and Hell obviously exists (two of its emissaries appear), but the Pharaoh claims to be a god and the Flowing Queen claims Baga Yaga is a goddess (while denying being one herself). There's also flying lions made of stone and solar-powered airplanes made of gold.
Next Book: Taylor Anderson, Into the Storm
