Me, too :D
Steampunk was influenced by a lot of notable authors like Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, and Mary Shelley. They are like the precursor to Steampunk :)
Another good middle grade one is The Hunchback Assignments by Arthur Slade!
I have been reading SO much about Steampunk! I MUST pick up at least one book to give it a whirl! Have you read any of the books listed, and, if so, what to recommend to a Steampunk newbie? (Keep in mind that I also have a teen reader in the house that I think would totally go for this genre)! Thanks!
OH! I HAVE read "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" - just never realized that it had it's own genre!
