Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0141304715, Paperback)

When Vesper is invited to Drackenberg's Golden Jubilee, she and her guardians find themselves involved in an attempted overthrow of the government, the disappearance of a priceless painting-and a kidnapping by evil Dr. Helvitius. Just business as usual!

"Has it all: a beautiful heroine, frustrated villains, hairbreadth escapes. . .Must have been almost as much fun to write as it is to read,"
-The Horn Book
