Product Information

I really totally adored this book, and look-forward to seeing the faces of the young people (and old people) who get to be part of this special, extraordinary world. I was surprised to find that this story centred more around Robert, his family and their past, for some reason I assumed the story of the actual cogheart would be continued on in this series format, and this change pleasantly surprised me. Therefore, intent on solving the mystery, Lily, Robert and Malkin the mechanical fox, set out for London on an adventure full of danger, Can Lily, Robert and Malkin foil Jack Door’s villainous quest?

However, I was quite a bit bummed that Anna didn't have as important a role here, and I quite missed the mechanicals when things started heating up too. However, it also focuses on both Lily and Robert’s struggles to come to terms with their identities.Everything that ever was or would be, all mixed together in a soup of being; of shouting and jumping, moving and bumping. An exhilarating adventure full of mystery and intrigue, written with ingenuity and an empathy that touched the heart. Determined to solve the mystery, Lily, Robert and Malkin the mechanical fox, set out for London on an adventure full of danger, daring, family secrets and long-buried treasure. Before long, Robert, Lily and Malkin are caught up in the midst of this scheme as they race against time to find the Blood Diamond before Jack.

My personal view is that encouraging all children to find a love of books is key to their future well-being.There’s no point living in fear of what might be when it prevents you enjoying the freedom of what is.

I enjoyed that they also showed the characters' flaws, it made them more human compared to some other middle-grade book characters. Set in an alternative steampunk Victorian-era London, Jack Diamond, a world-renowned thief and notorious showman, has escaped from prison with plans to recover the missing Blood Diamond belonging to the Queen of England.

The only difference that I experienced was the pacing, I had the feeling that this one was more fast-paced and I liked that a lot. After art college and film school, Peter worked as an animator on commercials, pop videos, and two BAFTA-winning children’s TV shows, and wrote and directed several successful short films. This ambitious debut is set in 1896, but in an alternative history - almost steampunk - with clockwork servants, silver airships and mechanical animals. The Victorians loved stories that featured lockets and lost identities - did this help you form some of your ideas for Moonlocket? Robert and Lily find themselves caught in his ruthless path as they discover that Robert’s past holds the key to unlocking the necklace’s secrets.

Moonlocket, the second in the series is equally exciting, packed with thrills, heroes and dastardly villains.
