The Wild Robot meets Sweet Tooth in the first book in a sweeping
adventure series packed with robots, smugglers, battles, and a lonely boy
trying to find where he fits in the world.
Eleven-year-old Noah has grown up in a mysterious house that grows larger every
night with only his mother and a robot-boy for company. He spends his days
building robotic devices for the city of Liberty, a place he’s not even allowed
to visit—not since his father almost destroyed it when Noah was only a baby.
When Noah discovers a message hidden in one of his father's inventions, he
decides to run away to find him. He’s sure that at his father’s side he’ll
finally get the recognition he deserves. With the help of a band of smugglers
(especially unofficial second in command, young Winona), he sails to Singe to
rescue his father, who he’s certain is as misunderstood as he is, but the man
he finds there is even more of a monster than his mechanical creations.
And when Noah returns home, he accidentally leads his father’s robot army to
Liberty once more.
Now, it’s up to Noah to rescue the city—but to do so, he’ll have to make a
terrible choice.
Reviews:
"A boy’s determined search for his father lends
emotional heft to this steampunk-inflected series starter. . . . Tackling
questions about sacrifice and sentience, this speculative enterprise,
accompanied by Carter’s moody illustrations, offers melancholic refinement. . .
."—Publishers Weekly
"Ferrell opens this exciting new middle-grade adventure series with a
bang. . . . Lush world building and an action-packed storyline will prove
perfect for fans of book franchises such as A Series of Unfortunate Events.
With a plot that never fails to lose steam, accompanied by Carter’s eerie
illustrations, Noah’s origin story is one that fans of adventure and mystery
ought not to miss."—Booklist
"This high adventure veers between fast action sequences and stolid instances
of emotional development."—Foreword Reviews
"An impressively descriptive story. . . ."—Kirkus Reviews
My Review:
The Sinister Secrets of Singe is a fun tale by Sean Ferrell for younger readers. Even though, I am not of the target audience for it, I was still entertained with it from start to finish. It was an honor to go on this adventure with the characters and spending time in a whole new world. I loved it.
I am giving The Sinister Secrets of Singe five stars. I recommend it for readers who are between the ages of nine and fourteen and love reading science fiction and fantasy books. I believe it would be a perfect placement on school and public library shelves. I would be happy to read more by Sean Ferrell in the future.
I received a digital copy of Sean Ferrell's The Sinister Secrets of Singe from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
