Peter Bunzl creates vivid settings, likeable heroes and despicable villans in a fabulous adventure through a Steampunk Victorian England.

Lily, with the help of her friend Robert and her mechanical fox Malkin, search for the truth behind her father’s disappearance, uncovering long kept secrets and learning who they can trust on the way.

Pacey, emotionally charged, and with an ending that ensures all the cogs are aligned. A fantastic debut novel, that I can’t wait to get on my bookshelf.

There’s also a glossary at the back to help with the technical language about the mechanicals and airships.

And, if anyone knows where I can get a mechanimal from…

Great for lovers of Mortal Engines, mystery, adventure and historical fiction.
