Description: "Reminiscent of both Pinocchio and The Great Mouse Detective, this novel is tailor-made for young readers who love adventure narratives and steampunk fiction."-- Kirkus Reviews "A page-turning adventure for ambitious readers"-- School Library Journal "The fast-paced plot is action-packed but leaves room for Charlie's coming-of-age journey... [ The Kidnap Plot ] should satisfy fans of fantasy and adventure."-- Publishers Weekly "It's a strong start to a new series--the characters are diverse, and Butler creates a smoky, grimy, harsh England that is almost a living character in itself. Readers will happily keep an eye out for the next volume."-- The Bulletin for the Center for Children's Books
