The Clockwork Boy

by Cecilia Dominic

Banished from the classroom at Madame Leroux's Finishing School for questioning Madame's assertion that young ladies did not need to study mathematics, Leah Worthington and her clockwork automaton companion, faux-Andrew, are sent to nearby Saint Genevieve's Church so she can practice sketching the exquisite stained glass windows. Here she discovers the body of the master craftsman sent to examine the windows in preparation for a visit from the new Italian consul. Unlike the local constable, Leah questions that his death was the result of an accidental fall from his ladder.

Reviews

[Barbara Harrison · Rating 5 out of 5]

A nice, one-sitting mystery with a soupcon of romance and humor.
I read an ARC and this voluntary review is my own opinion.

[Carolyn Injoy · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Clockwork Boy by Cecilia Dominic is a cleverly written steampunk story for young adults. I gave it five stars. It was short but entertaining. I will look for more of this author's writing.

I received a complimentary copy from the author. That did not change my opinion for this review.
