Cogheart
Author: Peter Bunzl
Publisher: Usborne Publishing Ltd
Publication Date: February 2019
Where to begin? Mechanical animals? Men with mirrored eyes? Set in an intriguing alternate London with steampunk elements, Cogheart is the story of one girl’s journey to find her father, and in turn, find out the truth about her past. Lily Grace Hartman, also known as Miss Grantham at Miss Scrimshaw’s Finishing Academy for Young Ladies (which she hates), is not your average English girl. She loves gory comic books and working with her father, who makes mechanical people and animals. She never realizes that his work might endanger his life - until it does. A strange, remarkable, and perilous new world is suddenly unveiled to Lily. Fleeing her home with her new friend Robert, she soon realizes that the people meant to protect her are the ones who are the most willing to do the opposite. A thoughtful story with engaging characters, Cogheart is a great read for middle grade readers who enjoy realistic fiction and adventure.
