In a dark and hulking mansion in Victorian London, England lives a girl named Avaline Baines. Her life and passion is devoted to her work--assistant to the mysterious and brilliant young Doctor Peregrine Tolworth. Some say the doctor is eccentric, some say he's troubled, and most say he's mad. Avaline, however, believes there's much more to him. When the doctor is suspected of a mysterious and gruesome murder, Avaline takes it into her hands to prove her employer is not guilty. In her search for the truth, however, will she find proof of the doctor's innocence--or proof of the madness in him that she has always denied?

The Love Portal. Reality is Negotiable. Love isn't.
Seventeen-year-old Peregrine never believed in love at first sight-until he walks into an interdimensional portal emporium and meets Montana, a native American of Cheyenne descent. The boss's sixteen-year-old adopted daughter is clever, mysterious, and completely off-limits. Peregrine accepts a portal challenge from her stepfather, Ernest, to win his approval and steps through a shimmering green portal into the multiverse. Here, stories come to life, fictional characters walk the streets, and nothing is what it seems. The only element that remains constant is his love for Montana, but her guardian continues to oppose their relationship. Montana returns his love, but they seem destined to remain apart, and when Peregrine is abducted into an alternative dimension, he finds that she might not even be the original Montana, but an actress playing a part. To find the truth and bring the real Montana home, Peregrine must navigate shifting worlds, outwit a deceitful rival who tries to trick Montana into marriage and face the terrifying possibility that his entire life is only a play acted out on the stage of a theatre in another world. But if reality is just fiction, he can rewrite his own ending. And this time, he's keeping the girl. Copyright. A. M. McCaffrey. All rights reserved.
