The level of peril and tension is just perfect for lower Middle-Grade, although the mad-cap comedy and brilliant inventions will ensure this appeals to older readers too! Leonora is smart, resourceful and very relatable main character - and a tech-y genius, which is always a plus (more Girl-In-STEM please!!) The ending of the book wraps up the main adventure nicely, while leaving threads hanging for a sequel kids will chomping at the bit to read! I've adored this e-ARC, and cannot WAIT for my science-obsessed 8yo to read the physical book when it comes out in a couple of weeks. Leonora Bolt makes amazing gadgets from any old junk. And her inventions have already stopped villainous Uncle Luther TWICE, though she hasn't rescued her super-scientist parents from him - yet. Fox siblings Ted and Nancy live in the big city but decide to find Grimwood, a faraway forest where they can lie low. Nadia Shireen’s first illustrated middle grade novel is a brilliantly hilarious and heartwarming tale, full of her trademark anarchic humour.

To άκρως μυστικό εργαστήρι της Λεονόρας (ΜΕΙΝΕΤΕ ΜΑΚΡΙΑ!) είναι στην κορυφή ενός παλιού φάρου. Ο φάρος βρίσκεται στο νησί Κράμπι. Και το νησί Κράμπι είναι πεταμένο στη μέση του… απόλυτου πουθενά! Leonora was brave and I loved how she faced challenges head on, I liked her relationship with Millie the cook and how she made friends easily.
