I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of this book but found the second half to be extremely predictable and the dialogue poor. I feel the author may have been pressed for time and completed the second half in a hurry. A real shame because the ideas and characters were excellent.

About the author
Peter Bunzl grew up in South London in a rambling Victorian house with three cats, two dogs, one sister, an antique-dealer dad and an artist mum. He is a BAFTA-winning animator, as well as a writer and film-maker. Peter's debut novel, Cogheart, has been shortlisted for lots of awards, including the Waterstones Children's Book Prize. Like Lily and Robert, he loves adventures and reading penny dreadfuls, but wishes dearly that he had a mechanical fox called Malkin.
