In Rose's last adventure, the king's daughter, Jade, was rescued after being trapped in her dollhouse by an evil magician. Now, the evil magician, Gossamer, has escaped and stolen the king's Magician's Mask, which grants the wearer dangerous, unimaginable power. If the magician can perform the ritual during Venice's masked ball, he and the mask will become one. To make matters worse, when they get to Venice, the ruler is under the magician's spell and Mr. Fountain disappears right before the ball. Can Rose and the others stop Gossamer before it's too late? What has happened to Mr. Fountain? The characters in this book are likable and entertaining. The mysterious plot is slowly paced but well developed. The smooth transitions from chapter to chapter, the suspense, and the tension of the story easily draw readers into Rose's unique world and keep them wanting to know what will happen next. Fans of this series or readers who enjoy princesses, magic, fantasy, and mystery will not be disappointed with this third book.Kira Moody, Whitmore Public Library, Salt Lake City, UT

  Rose stared blankly at Mrs. Jones, and so did the rest of the servants in the kitchen. It didn't sound like such a strange thing to say, but then the cook hadn't willingly spoken to Rose for over a month—not since Rose's magical secret had terrified half the household.
  Sarah, the kitchen maid, was sitting at the big scrubbed wooden table. She looked from Mrs. Jones to Rose and back again, her round blue eyes anxious. Then she slowly passed Mrs. Jones a cup and saucer.
  Rose swallowed, her throat suddenly feeling tight and narrow with tears. Sarah too? They were really going to stop pretending she didn't exist? She sniffed crossly. Why on earth was she wanting to cry now, when they were being nice to her again? When they'd made her invisible, she'd pretended so fiercely—to herself as well—that she didn't care.
  Mrs. Jones pushed the cup of tea across the table. She let go of it rather quickly, so that she and Rose wouldn't have their fingers on it at the same time, but it was a start.
  Rose slid gratefully into a chair next to Bill, the apprentice footman, who was grinning at her encouragingly. Bill had never minded Rose's magic as much as the other servants had. Perhaps it was because he was an orphan too, and that joined them together. Bill came from the boys' orphanage that was across the wall from St. Bridget's, where Rose had lived until she'd come to Mr. Fountain's house.

conversations.value: Despite being the most unfortunate choice for an ambassador, Lord Lynton was at least dutiful. As Mr. Fountain had said, he attended the duke's palace every morning to exchange polite pleasantries and flinch at all the magic, so obvious that even he couldn't ignore it. He seemed mildly horrified at the thought of taking children with him to that morning's audience with the duke, and he protested outright over Gus, but Mr. Fountain waved the king's letter of introduction at him, and he subsided. From then on, Gus made a point of sitting as close to Lord Lynton as possible and purring excessively.
  Freddie snorted, and had to convert it hastily into a cough when his lordship turned a horrified eye on him, lifting his eyeglass to examine him properly.
  As they approached it along the edge of the lagoon, the palace shimmered above a forest of mooring poles like a pinkish, painted cloud. Rose felt her stomach quivering as they were handed ceremoniously out of the gondola. She had been to the king's palace at home, of course, but it had been strangely disappointing. Although it looked like a wedding cake, it had a strange sense of shallow but expensive grandeur, like gold foil over wood. Rose had been sure that a palace would feel more special. This palace, oddly fortress-like above its floating arches, sent out a waft of glorious, boastful enchantment. It promised to change the life of anyone who stepped inside.
  At the top of the palace steps they were passed from servant to servant through an endless string of grander and yet still grander rooms, all gilded and painted with the most extraordinary scenes.
  Rose averted her eyes and tried to stop Bella from looking, but Bella was more interested in making sure that her best blue silk frock hadn't been crushed by their journey in the gondola. Even she gasped, though, when they came to the audience chamber. Every inch of it was gilded or covered in the most enormous wall paintings—even the ceiling—and the floor was tiled in extravagant patterns of inlaid marble. And at the far end of the room, raised on a set of scarlet steps, was the duke, sleepily regarding the courtiers arguing in front of him.
