The Boneshaker / Kate Milford / 372 pages / Missouri Challenge

"Strange things can happen at a crossroads."  The Boneshaker is Natalie Minks' difficult to control bicycle.  She and her father have fashioned the bike and Emily is in awe of it.  The year is 1914 and a terrible illness has struck a nearby Missouri town, causing the doctor to leave Natalie's town to help with the epidemic.  A traveling medicine show comes to town. Could one of the purveyors of magic/medicine be the devil himself?  Can Natalie and Old Tom defeat him?
