But two terrifying baddies with mirrors for eyes are after them both, and it will take all the airship adventure and steam power they can muster to succeed. Robert’s the son of the local clockmaker, eager to help Lily with her quest. But as any astute reader trained on the likes of Roald Dahl will know, an orphan can’t trust her old housekeeper, especially when she covers her face with a black veil, speaks with an unplaceable “foreign” accent, and has been maltreating the family mechs. When her father’s airship crashes in a mysterious accident, Lily’s fetched from school by her family housekeeper. Lily’s the only nice girl at a nasty finishing school where all the other students and teachers are dreadful and mistreat their mechs.
Robert and Lily, both 13, wouldn’t normally have encountered each other in 1896 England.
A new steampunk trilogy introduces dastardly villains, friendly mechanicals, and thrilling airship action.
