A Spoonful of Gunpowder - with bookmark

Novel for which the award-winning screenplay adaptation of the same name is based on.

Just a spoonful of gunpowder makes the buildings go down...

A reimagining of Mary Poppins meets steampunk Victorian London...in a most delightful way!

Anna-Marie Pauper was perfectly practical in every way.
Or so she thought until a ragtag group of stolen orphans, a dangerously flirtatious criminal, and a beguiling airship captain soon had her emotions in an uproar, breaking down her carefully crafted barriers.
She rescues the girls only to place them into a new kind of prison, a beautiful prison she herself has lived in for five years. When the price for freedom to live their own lives is one stolen book, Anna-Marie didn't hesitate to accept the bargain...even though it means stealing from a queen.

Screenplay adapted from this book has received Honorable Mentions (New York) and Semi-Finalist (London) status in various competitions.
