With her wonderful bouffant of bright, purple hair, handmade Maesee Peek is no ordinary doll. She's got a gold monocle that lets her see amazing things, a mystical timepiece that opens up history for her, and a padded bustle on the back of her Victorian dress that can act as a floatation device if she happens to need one. When Maesee is accidentally dropped down a hill after an afternoon tea party, she finds that she needs all the help she can get. Catapulted into a wild adventure that takes her back and forth in time, Maesee takes a breathless ride into science, history, and art With mystical ingenuity and a sweet-natured, comic sensibility, The Adventures of Maesee Peek is that rare treat that entertains just as much as it educates.
