Praise for The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow:
A wonderful book, with a glorious heroine and a true sprit of adventure. Katherine Rundell, author of Rooftoppers
Dastardliness on a big scale is uncovered in this well-plotted, evocative novel. Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times
It's a dashing plot, an atmospheric setting and an extensive and imaginative cast. Katherine Woodfine handles it all with aplomb Julia Eccleshare, Guardian
