"A thrilling new steampunk adventure from the one and only Vashti Hardy."
Interest Age 9+ Reading Age 8
Siblings Mabel and Will are excited to be going adventuring with their aunt, and who wouldn’t be? Aunt Lucy is a relic hunter, who searches the world for special ancient objects. If you’re thinking Indiana Jones, you’re on the right track and they even share the same taste in headgear.
With their parents away, the kids are travelling with her on a journey to Marvolia, hoping to find the lost town of Umber. Their first task is to shake devious journalist Bryon Cogsworth off their trail, then it’s full steam (via airship) ahead.
The adventure that follows will call for quick thinking from all three adventurers and there’s lots to test them all. This is the first in a new series of steampunk adventures from the popular author of Wildspark and Brightstorm books and features a cool other world, some great gadgets including a talking and very grumpy toy cat, and lots of action. Written for dyslexia specialists Barrington Stoke, it is accessible to all readers.

Bestselling author Vashti Hardy takes us on an action-packed quest to find the lost town of clockwork in the first of a new fantasy adventure series filled with her trademark STEM inventions.
