This is a fun kid's steampunk adventure about a boy who's not a genius like his parents, but has his own way of doing things. He works to discover more about how his grandfather's mechanical creations work. The reading level is good for younger kids, but the plot has enough intricacies to keep older readers involved too. Looking forward to more from Ishida!

Entertaining. I'm not sure where we picked up this book, but I've had it for a while. Fantasy in a modern setting. Likeable if eccentric characters. A plot with enough tension that my boy still wanted to hear two or three chapters a night.
