Maddy Kettle: The Adventure of the Thimblewitch by Eric Orchard
4.0
This should be a bigger deal.
Beautiful saturated illustrations depicting a unique world. Orchard combines elements of steampunk, animal adventure, and just a touch of creepy, in a story about a kid trying to save her parents. There are fun/surprising gadgets, quirky landscapes, and lots of frameable panels.
Give it to kids who like [b: Zita the Spacegirl|8879121|Zita the Spacegirl (Zita the Spacegirl, #1)|Ben Hatke|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388260704s/8879121.jpg|13754899], [b: Hildafolk|9700137|Hildafolk|Luke Pearson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1334275520s/9700137.jpg|14588317], and [b: Coraline|17061|Coraline|Neil Gaiman|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327871014s/17061.jpg|2834844].
I might take it to elementary schools, but this is a somewhat crowded field.
