Acerca de esta escucha

Miss Clara Marie Stanton's family may be eccentric, but they certainly aren't insane. London, England, 1860: When Clara's ex-fiancé begins to spread rumors that her family suffers from hereditary insanity, it's all she can do to protect them from his desperate schemes, society's prejudice, and a lifetime in an asylum. Then Clara's grandfather Drosselmeyer brings on an apprentice with a mechanical leg, and all pretense of normalcy takes wing.

Theodore Kingsley, a shame-chased vagabond haunted by the war, wants a fresh start far from Kingsley Court and the disappointed father who declared him dead. Upon returning to England, Theodore meets clockmaker Drosselmeyer, who hires him as an apprentice, much to Clara's dismay.

When Drosselmeyer spontaneously disappears in his secret flying owl machine, he leaves behind a note for Clara, beseeching her to make her dreams of adventure a reality by joining him on a merry scavenger hunt across Europe.

Together, Clara and Theodore set off to follow Drosselmeyer's trail of clues, but they will have to stay one step ahead of a villain who wants the flying machine for himself—at any cost.

A wonderful adventure like no other

Wholly unique and utterly delightful, this steampunk romance is filled with lovable, quirky characters and a frollicking journey through a wonder-filled world. This has been a story to make me laugh, cheer, and even tear up a time or two. I won't soon forget this story and I will absolutely be recommending it to friends and family. Everyone who enjoys humor, romance, and adventure with a heartwarming dollop of faith should read this book.

Religious overtones.

Didn’t realize there would be heavy religious theme; readers should be aware of Christian theme. I’d considered this a religious book.

It was gentle fun

While I enjoyed most everything about this book, there are two things that I would have liked to know before deciding if to read it or not. 1- It’s mostly narration, with little conversation. I personally don’t care for that. 2- The religious rub-in is awful. Had I known I would have not read this book. The gall to try and make people believe that a prayer saves a person that has been kidnapped. I come from a family that has dealt with that pain. And let me assure you that no amount of praying helps, fixes, finds, or quickens the search or gives peace to those suffering from it. It’s insensible to assume that prayer can fix a horror humanity often goes through. clearly the writer has not had to live through this.

Pleasant tale with promotion of Christianity

The story is sweet and narrated well. However, the last forth of the book has a strong religious component. This is fine, but good to know before starting the book.

Fun story

Loved it from beginning to end. Fun characters with eccentric personalities and witty commentary. It’s a Victorian era Amazing Race with a twist.

Faith and adventure!

I wasn’t sure I was going to like this book. But I not only loved it but will recommend it to anyone who needs a good book to get submerged in!

Way Too Relgious

This could have been so much better without the moronic religiosity. I would have NEVER bought this if I'd known it was a bunch of heavy handed Christian nonsense. Should have been labeled as religious...

Adventure and Victorian romance

Well told story of truth - we’re not on this earth to live alone nor be in charge.
