This is a book with a great heroine and an intriguing storyline, set in an alternate Victorian Era. It talks about friendship, kindness, and hope. But there’s something sinister about the hybrid children who appear as part of the act. And before Lily and Robert can do anything, they’re captured by shadowy figures and whisked off in the mysterious flying circus to somewhere far, far away…The first in an enchanting new historical-fantasy adventure series from the bestselling author of The Cogheart Adventures. Emily Lonsdale, age 10 - 'Though I found the plot a little slow, I would recommend it if you were looking for something different.' Murder, mayhem and mystery meet in this gripping Victorian adventure, nominated for numerous awards; including the Carnegie Medal, the Waterstones Book Prize and the Branford Boase. The sentence has to make sense without the information between the dashes; it’s just a bit more interesting with the added detail. I think, had I been younger when I read this book it would have easily become one those books that I would have adored and reread a large number of times. I think it definitely fits the middle grade readership well and I certainly see a lot of younger readers enjoying it. And the cool thing is that I now have it on my radar for any of my kiddos at work who like foxes or these kinds of stories. So, Cogheart gets four out of five foxes as a rating, only losing the one due to how predictable I found it. But at the end of the day, I really loved this story.
