She would rather read penny dreadfuls than learn how to walk with a book on her head. Lily is a girl who doesn’t fit into Victorian society.
Cogheart fits right in as a great introduction to steampunk for the 8+ crowd.Ĭogheart is the story of Lily. Both were Battle of the Book requirements. More recently, we have read Etiquette and Espionage, a YA steampunk that is super fun. I wasn’t sure if she would like it, but we both loved it. J and I first became aware of steampunk when we read The League of Seven. Books in this genre tend to be set in Victorian England or the Wild West where the machines that they use make a stark contrast with the world around them. Steampunk is a genre of fiction that has a historical setting and typically features steam-powered machinery rather than advanced technology. If you are not already a fan of steampunk, you might be wondering what it is. I received a review copy of this book, but all opinions are my own. Well, it finally is, but it is being published here by Jolly Fish Press instead of Usborne. As an Usborne consultant, I was yearning for it to come to the US. I actually first learned of this book because it was published by Usborne in the UK in 2016. If you are a fan of adventurous mysteries filled with plucky kids and steampunk sensibilities, Cogheart, by Peter Bunzl, is a great choice.
