“An absolute blast of a page-turner, jam-packed with laugh-out-loud humor, a boatload of heart, and more action than you might believe can fit into a single book. I can’t wait to read more adventures from Far Flung Falls!” – Jarrett Lerner, author of EngiNerds and A Work in Progress
“Maybe Molly McQuirter hasn’t always been the best big sister to her brother Wally, but she comes through when it really matters! Erik Jon Slagerup’s debut MOLLY AND THE MACHINE introduces a host of eccentric characters, a “villain” with a heart-rending origin story, a madcap adventure that won’t quit—and a heroine who finds more gumption, courage, and allies than she ever knew she had. Readers will be cheering her on from start to finish!” – Margaret Peterson Haddix, New York Times bestselling author
