We love reading books as a family. My husband read this book to all of my kids and they LOVED it!! This is the first in the Mysteries of Cove Series and we can’t wait until the second one comes out.
Here is what my daughter thought of it…
I thought it was awesome. It has just the right amount of action and adventure. I loved the characters. I want to read it over and over again. Top twenty on my large list of favorites. You will feel the excitement in every chapter. This is a must read for anyone 6th grade+, but even my little brothers who are 4 and 8 like to listen to my dad read it!
Mysteries of Cove
Trenton Colman is exceptionally creative with a knack for all things mechanical. But his talents are viewed with suspicion in Cove, a steam-powered city built inside a mountain. In Cove, creativity is a crime and “invention” is a curse word.
Kallista Babbage is a repair technician and daughter of the notorious Leo Babbage, who died in an explosion—an event the leaders of Cove point to as an example of the danger of creativity.
Working together, Trenton and Kallista learn that Leo Babbage was developing a secret project before he perished. Following clues he left behind, they begin to assemble a strange machine that is unlike anything they’ve ever seen before. They soon discover that what they are building may threaten every truth their city is founded on—and quite possibly their very lives.
