A middle-grade action adventure trilogy that's part Pinocchio, part fantasy, and all fun.
Dave lives in an old house, and works in a study where one of the biggest bestsellers of the 20th century was written-Dave has kept the room's original shag carpet and wooden-veneered walls. He likes games, guitars, languages, and most of all his family.
"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
