Book Description
To fight a menacing evil, a group of children team up with amazing mechanical machines built by a genius clockmaker in this illustrated children’s fantasy. Best friends Karlheinz Indergarten and Leopold Croak clash in an epic, imaginary battle waged in the branches of an enormous, ancient oak tree. But when lightning strikes young Leopold, he loses his imagination, and with it, his sense of right and wrong. The damaged boy grows to adulthood, treading a sinister path of industrial conquest. And Leopold’s thirst for power soon threatens the tree, the village, and worst of all, the children within. But humble Karl discovers a gift for clockwork—the magic of gears and cogs—and assembles a mechanical army to fight back. Joined by the children themselves, Karl endeavors to save the village, the ancient oak, and maybe—just maybe—something more besides. Perfect for reading aloud!

Book Description
Imagine that Queen Elizabeth I never ruled. England and Scotland never unified. It's 1845 and the two countries are once more at war. Mechanical genius Clara Lissing cares little for the war. She just wants to keep her five brothers safe. But when her youngest brother Tom enlists with the army everything she's worked for starts to fall apart. Clara goes to London to work with Duke Murgatroyd building a device that will bring an end to the fighting. Clara is determined to do her duty, help win the war and send everyone's brothers home to safety. But life in London brings with it the distracting presence of Gordy, Murgatroyd's 18-year-old nephew. Gordy is a loose cog, twisting her clockwork life out of shape and making her think of things that aren't work and duty. Then Clara discovers Murgatroyd's true plans for the army, the city, and England itself. With war reaching to the heart of London, Clara and Gordy must match duty with determination if they're to save a nation.

Book Description
We all have good luck and bad, courtesy of our very own white rabbits and black cats. One rarely ever notices them of course, because they're so exceptionally clever. Cecil Bean has certainly never noticed his. But when shadowy Millikin crosses Leek's path, rather than Cecil's, the hapless rabbit finds himself cast into a savage realm of peril and misfortune. So begins Leek's quest to return to his boy, whose luck has turned for the worse.
