«Bunzl's impressive debut novel... draws readers into an atmospheric steam-punk plot which has all the ingredients of a real page-turner. Sinister characters and high tension ensure that children will devour this.»
The Bookseller
«A classic adventure in every way I love – machines, Victoriana and high, pulse-pounding thrills. It’s got real heart too.»
Rob Lloyd Jones, author of Wild Boy
