Critics Review
“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
“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
