Sophie’s review of Skycircus by Peter Bunzl

I wrote this book review last year and have got around to typing it up for you to enjoy.

Skycircus is the third book in the series, the first is called Cogheart and the second is Moonlocket. You may want to read these first as this review may contain spoilers.

Skysircus starts with a ticket for a circus and Lily’s mum’s notebook which was discovered at the beginning of the story. Lily ends up going to the circus and everyone knows it’s her birthday she receives free gifts. she watches the show, but as she is about to exit, she gets surrounded by Security and they carry her to a cell-like room (while she is non-conscious)  with some of the performers. Lily picks the locks in the cell to break free and makes a plan to escape. Lily’s friend Robert nearly dies because he got punished by Mr. Slimwood who is the bad guy, Robert tries to balance on a tightrope high over some tigers and bears and ends up falling onto the ground. In Paris, their plan goes as expected, they end up escaping Mr. Slimwood and Madam Lions-Mane as they were very wanted criminals for stealing Lily’s papa’s papers.

I felt like I had to keep turning the pages to find out what was going to happen, I couldn’t put the book down.

I recommend it to people who like fictional books with adventure and danger.

I rate it 3 out of 5 stars. I rated Skycircus this because it doesn’t have Robert’s mum and sister in it, I had become attached to those characters in the previous book. It did have action and kept me wondering what was going to happen which is what I enjoyed the most.

Sophie’s review of Moonlocket book by Peter Bunzl

In the book there is a criminal on the loose called Jack Door he is after Roberts mum Selena who abandoned Robert when he was very little. Jack is after Selena because she is  Jacks daughter and she gave him up to the police 15 years ago. Lilly, Robert and Malkin’s job is to find Selena before Jack does so they travel on A airship from Brackenbridge (where Lilly lives) to London. Every time Jack goes somewhere he always leaves a playing card it is the Jack of diamonds it is always a clue. It is a book of mystery, sewage and clockwork.

I recommend it to people who love airships, adventure and shock.

I rate it 4 and a half out of 5 because I love the puzzles in the story and the place where it is set (in London) but it was really good. 🙂

Sophie’s review of Cogheart book by Peter Bunzl

There is a girl called Lilly and everyone thinks her dad has died. But her family member Dr.Silverfish/Uncle wants this device called Cogheart. It is this mechanical heart that can keep you alive forever (I wouldn’t like that because your skin would go extremely wrinkly after 200 years) because he is really poorly. And so he had got a couple of evil people to try and find the Cogheart, but no one knows it is inside of Lilly’s body. She made a couple of friends 1st Robert his dad had died during this book. Also a fox the mechanical called Malkin who delivered a special note to Lilly and finally Anna who             flew the airship all the way to London for Lilly, Robert and Malkin.

I would recommend it to people who like SHOCK, DANGER and DARING!!!!

I rate it four out of five

Because it took a long time to get into the story for me but other than that great!!!
