adventurous lighthearted medium-paced

• Strong character development? Yes

2.0

A circus performer-come-jewel thief gets tangled in a steampunk-style adventure in Victorian London. It turned out to be very much a child’s book, I had hoped that wouldn’t affect my enjoyment of it, but it did. Despite having the bones of a great adventure, it began to feel very cliche in parts and I was cringing a lot as the story went on - It could. however, be a good choice for 11-14-year-olds.
