What is A Most Improper Magic about?

Twelve-year-old Kat Stephenson is expected to behave like a proper young lady, but embroidery and obedience are not for her. When her family faces ruin, Kat cuts her hair, disguises herself as a boy and sets out to save them. Along the way, she discovers her late mother’s magical legacy, battles highwaymen, meddles in her sisters’ romances and attracts the attention of a dangerous secret order. In Regency England, Kat must use courage, cleverness and unpredictable magic to protect the people she loves.
