Edge writes in a style that meshes nicely with this type of story. He writes in a manner that is suspenseful, without being too scary or intimidating. His writing is also easy to read and understand. Another aspect that I liked about his writing style is that he doesn't hesitate to use a few words that kids might not be as familiar with, yet it was easy to tell within the context what the words meant. I was surprised when Lady Cambridge was behind the mystery. I was surprised becouse she is like just a normal women but then now she is a cruel mean person. I liked the way the author explained the story with lots of real event and a great time of year. I also liked the way it describe the places and events becouse you could really see, imagine the story. My favorite part of the book was when everything was solved and everyone had a wonderful New Year. For example in the book it stated that "Dont worry, everything is over now." to me this means that not only the mystery has been solved everything is all better now.In my opinion I believe that the charecter felt relived to solve that big mystery. With a heavy sigh, Montgomery Flinch slumped into the chair in front of his dressing-room table. He reached towards a crystal decanter filled with a dark amber liquid and, with a shaking hand, poured a generous measure into the nearest empty glass.

As I read the book I got so interested in it I hardly left it as it went on my suspicion grew larger and larger.If I can remember correctlly penny dreadful went to bedlem to investigate I can not wait to read on thank you for this amazing book I think this book is amazing every time I read it I don't want to stop!!! The characters are introduced nicely and I get the story, it is amazing how Christopher Edge (the author) can make it so clear to year 7's what is going on.

Twelve Minutes to Midnight - Nosy Crow Twelve Minutes to Midnight - Nosy Crow

Since inheriting the Penny Dreadful, 13-year-old orphan Penelope Tredwell has “single-handedly acted as the magazine’s editor, lead author, and publisher,” though she hides her true identity behind the pseudonym Montgomery Flinch. Now the “most celebrated author in Britain,” Penelope hires an actor to impersonate Flinch to promote sales. Receiving an urgent plea from the superintendent of Bedlam, the lunatic asylum, for Flinch’s assistance, Penelope sees the potential for her next horror story. Masquerading as Flinch’s niece, Penelope investigates, intrigued by accounts of patients arising in a trance at 12 minutes to midnight each night to compulsively write delirious, prophetic ramblings. Penelope’s investigation leads her to reclusive Lady Cambridge, aka the Spider Lady of South Kensington, whose diabolical plot to control the future threatens to plunge London into madness. Bold and intelligent beyond her years, Penelope pursues Lady Cambridge into London’s darkest places, facing gothic horrors greater than any she has written. Edge successfully delivers his own penny dreadful in the riveting style of a Victorian mystery.stars as this is entertaining, but it does verge on the farcical at times (which may well be a feature of the kind of writing this is focusing on, but I think it'll be lost on younger readers).

Note: I gave this book a full review because this book was published by Albert Whitman and Company. Penelope is too perfect and too self reliant to be a thirteen year old girl. This book would have worked out better if she were a 20 year old lady instead. In many ways, Twelve minutes to midnight is too far fetched. At the beginning I thought I was about to read a gothic-mystery novel, but then the plot focused on the fantasy genre.

And as the performance appears to have finished slightly ahead of schedule,” he continued, “I’d like to throw open the stage to any questions from the audience. I’m sure Mr Flinch would welcome this unique opportunity to talk directly with the devotees of his most remarkable fictions.” as yet another peal of applause rang out from the audience to acclaim the young girl’s words. In the front row, the journalist was still struggling to make himself heard. He glared at the girl, a gleam of recognition in his gaze, but his voice was lost in the tumultuous ovation. The mirror shattered into a thousand pieces, and, for a moment, in every single shard, the face of the last Earl of Pomeroy could be glimpsed, his mouth stretched in an endless scream as his dark and murderous deeds were finally avenged.” Set in 1939 and loosely based on true events, the film tells the story of Thomas Miller (Izzard), a teacher who is sent to work at a boarding school on England’s south coast which plays host to 20 German girls, the daughters of affluent Nazi German families. So far I think the book is very good. It seems to make more sense the more that you read. I like the fact that the actor playing the leading role has decided to take on the character and investigate a story further.The plot of Twelve Minutes to Midnight is rather original. A young girl, Penelope, is a writer but she must keep it a secret as the story takes place during a day and age when female authors were rather uncommon and frowned upon. Not only is Penny a writer (and publisher), she also gets caught up in a mysterious investigation involving inmates of an asylum who are writing mysterious phrases at 12 minutes to midnight. Penny sets out to solve the mystery, with the help of a few of her friends. Penelope Tredwell is the feisty thirteen-year-old orphan heiress of the bestselling magazine, The Penny Dreadful. Her masterly tales of the macabre are gripping Victorian Britain, even if no one knows she’s the author. One day, a letter she receives from the governor of the notorious Bedlam madhouse plunges her into an adventure more terrifying than anything she has ever imagined. toil for years in obscurity, but here you are, an overnight star.” His eyes glittered mischievously. “I’ll ask you again, what exactly is your secret?”
