)Flights and Chimes and Mysterious Times by Emma Trevayne.
A steampunk middle grade adventure, sort of The Uncommoners meets Mortal Engines. 10-yearold
Jack Foster, normally away at boarding school but home from the holidays and terminally
bored, follows an intriguing magician through a doorway and finds himself in an alternative and
very different London.
It’s a dark, polluted and smoky city, where the sun doesn’t shine and the residents seem to avoid
the rain. Most of the citizens wear goggles to protect their eyes and metal nose grills to filter the
polluted air. Jack has followed the magician through the doorway in search of some excitement
and interesting opportunities; what he discovers is that the magician is feared in this London, and
that he has been trying to bring Jack to this place to serve as son to the ruling Lady of the land.
Jack is fortunate to find an early friend in Beth, a mechanical but sentient girl who needs to be
wound daily at the neck, and Doctor Snailwater but when the safety of his friends and other
citizens is threatened, Jack has a difficult decision to face.
An original and imaginative alternative reality. I loved the bravery and cleverness of this curious
young boy. Recommended for 8-12s and especially for those that enjoy building and fixing things
and making things go.… (mer)
