This was an exciting steampunkish sequel that was full of mystery, betrayal, friendships and family. Cool inventions that are created by a girl (love the empowerment for girls to be into science).

The Inventors At No. 8
By
A.M. Morgen

What it's all about...

Oh my...George...the 3rd Lord Of Devonshire...has sold everything in his possession in order to maintain his house....but...his house is still sadly crumbling to pieces. He has nothing left to sell other than a map that was left to him by his grandfather. This map leads to the Star Of Victory...which is at the heart of this book. However...George is a very cowardly little boy...he feels overwhelmed and broken because of the very bad luck that seems to follow him everywhere. He meets Ada Byron...she lives down the street...together they decide to find the Star Of Victory. Through Ada he meets Oscar...a boy with amazing artistic talent...and Ruthie...a baby orangutang. Let the adventures begin!

Why I wanted to read it...

I have a very special fondness for middle grade books. This one had a bit of everything...fantasy, adventure, a very cute animal...Ruthie...bad guys nonfiction characters and science!

What made me truly enjoy this book...

This author’s writing and humor and imagination were all wonderful. I loved George and the way these new relationships with real friends helped him to grow brave and strong. Ada...well...Ada was self assured and inventive. The boys and Ruthie knew that she would keep them safe!

Why you should read it, too...

Readers who love MG adventure books will truly love this one! I can’t wait for another adventure in this series. Plus...the mix of real characters with the fictional ones...was delightful. I feel as though I have actually met Charles Darwin.

I received an advance reader’s copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley and Amazon. It was my choice to read it and review it.
