Even better, there’s something lovely about watching a young person conquer an unimaginable adventure. There’s something beautiful about a tough topic dealt with in a way that is consumable by young readers. Anyone who has been following me for any length of time knows how much I love Middle Grade books. So, this is a rough one for me to review. Murder, mayhem and mystery meet in this gripping Victorian adventure. Too soon Lily realizes that those she holds dear may be the very ones to break her heart. With her friends-Robert, the clockmaker’s son, and Malkin, her mechanical fox-Lily is plunged into a murky and menacing world. Her father is missing and now silver-eyed men stalk her through the shadows. Recommended to: Young readers who enjoy quick moving reads with plenty of twists and turns.
