The Paper Magician by Charlie N Holmberg
Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry & Ridley Pearson


Close runners-up:

The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches by Alan Bradley**
Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford

* Leaving Everything Most Loved is the most recent book in the Maisie Dobbs series. I don't think it's a stand-alone read ... you really need to have read prior books in the series.

** The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches is the most recent book in the Flavia de Luce series. It is *not* a stand-alone read. A lot of its appeal to me was because it tied up a long story arc.
Thank you very much for this Hampshire Nanny! (and also for sharing the close runners-up!). I may need to find more time to read 'Leaving Everything Most Loved' because I just found out it's the 10th of the Maisie Dobbs series! (I love book series, but the highest number of books I've read in a series has only ever been seven. And that's Harry Potter. lol)
