![]() ![]() ![]() It remined me just a bot of Steam Punk too, in a way. There was also an insouciant, tongue in cheek element to the writing, that it took me a while to warm to. It took me a while to hit my stride, reading this, while it is a young adult, I found it younger than I expected, certainly younger than the protagonists (15 - 16 ish). The terrible dystopia from which the two come has turned them into accomplished soldiers but Emily and Danny are also needed to make sure the German plot does not go through. In fact, Fox and his injured commander have come back in time to foil a nefarious plot which will plunge the British Empire and then the whole world into war. After rescuing both siblings, Fox is invited home to dry and recover by their grateful parents who are under the impression that Fox is a Norwegian sailor, but it becomes quite clear to Emily that this is not the case. As Danny shows off, he overturns the boat and Emily is rescued by a strange young man who is called Fox. Houses of Parliament are about to be opened, a big deal for the colony, when Emily and Danny go out on a boat on the Yarra. Once you get around the terrible cover, this book is a lot of fun.Įmily and her younger brother Danny live in Melbourne, sometime in the past. ![]()
