The Cogheart Adventures by Peter Bunzl are fantastic middle-grade adventures for ages 9+.
Set in Victorian times, in a steampunk world where people travel to work on airships and have clockwork mechanical servants, the books follow the adventures of Lily, her friend Robert and her over-opinionated, mechanical fox Malkin.
The children meet when Lily runs away to investigate her father’s disappearance. Her life is in danger and when she meets Robert, a clockmaker’s son, they are plunged into a perilous, murky world full of mystery.
Each book in the series brings a new mystery for the trio to solve and another gripping adventure. There are now four books in the series and we recommend starting with book one, Cogheart.
