Cogheart PETER BUNZL 9781474915007 Books

Here's one book you should judge by it's cover! The gorgeous, whimsical art fits perfectly with the steampunk adventure that is Peter Bunzl's Cogheart. This middle-grade novel was a fun, light read even as an adult, but I would've absolutely loved it as a child. I'd recommend Cogheart to any young reader, especially fans of Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan series.

Cogheart Adventures #1, I'm not usually one to read kids books unless it's for my kids. This book caught my eye as most younger generation books do it looked interesting and it's was about something I enjoy reading about, and I do enjoy steampunk. While reading this book I kept thinking about Steamboy and Castle in the Sky needless to say in my mind's eye I kept seeing this as an anime. Descriptive narrative was great it was easy picturing an alternate Victorian England the action was exciting and the steampunk elements were wonderful. Could have used a little more character development but this is just the first book it was enough to get me interested in reading the other two and suggesting it to my daughter. I also think this would transfer great to graphic novel format.

Lily Harman stuck in an all girls school longed for adventure. Robert Townsend wishes he could work on airships and not a horologist like his father. Lily's world is turned upside down when her father, a famous mechanist, disappears after his airship crashed and is presumed dead. Malkin, Lily's mechanimal, was with Lily's father when the ship went down but escaped so he could deliver a message to Lily. Robert found Malkin rundown and injured and with men searching the village for him and Robert's father was luckily able to repair Malkin. Lily's so called guardian retrieved her from the hell that was her school and brought her back home only to become a prisoner in her own home. Lily knows something is wrong and won't stop until she finds out what happened to her father, unfortunately the letter her father sent with Malkin explaining everything was damaged and she's still left with more questions than answers. All she knows is that her father created a machine that could change the world and it's missing and it's up to Lily, Robert, and Malkin to discover the truth.

Overall, this was a great story. I enjoyed it so much. Thank you to the publisher for this ARC, as always this review is Honestly ands Voluntarily Given
Cogheart is a middle grade steampunk adventure that features a brave young girl, a daring young boy and a loyal clockwork fox.

I love that steampunk is being written for the younger generation, since it is one of my favorite genres. The book says it is aimed at readers 12, though I would expand this to include adventure-loving advanced younger readers 5th grade and older.

Often, in adventures for middle grade and YA readers, the villains are adults. Cogheart is no exception. And these villains are not only bad guys, but they look pretty creepy. The trouble starts when the bad guys go after Lily’s father. In an effort to warn his daughter, John Hartman sends Malkin, his mechanical fox, to Lily with a message. Just as Malkin’s escape pod leaves the airship Dragonfly, a harpoon strikes the hull and John is shot. Fade to black….. (you know what that means).

And so the adventure begins. On the way to find Lily, Malkin meets and teams with young Robert Townsend, son and apprentice to a clockmaker. In the meantime, Lily has been removed from the boarding school she hates by her father’s housekeeper. Lily isn’t exactly in love with Madame Verdigris either. It immediately becomes apparent that Verdigris does not have Lily’s best interests at heart.

When Robert and Malkin catch up with Lily, helping Lily escape is just the tip of the adventure iceberg. Now chased by the men that went after her father, Lily runs for help, along the way meeting Anna, airship pilot/journalist, who becomes part of the adventure. All the while, we don’t really know why Lily is being chased.

Cogheart was released in the UK in 2016, so it has been out for a few years. Today, February 12th, is Cogheart’s US release. It is book one in a three book series, so if Cogheart appeals, look for Moonlocket and Sky Circus to follow. And if you like this book, I recommend you check out the author’s website for fun GIFs, games and activies relating to Lily’s amazing adventures.

Cogheart is a non-stop adventure sure to engage readers of any age that appreciate airships, danger, friendship, family, mechanical animals and people and a bit of airship piracy.

Through Netgalley, the publisher provided a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I red the first chapters but I hate this book!!! It's totally
ugly. And how can something mechanycul have a heart?
