While it took me a bit of time to get into the story since the beginning seemed slow to me, once Christopher had been kidnapped, I became intrigued and couldn't stop reading. The plot revolves around a group of mechanical creatures who are extremely loyal to each other. In fact, they don't seem to care what happens to them as long as they can help bring Christopher home. Along the way, each one of these friends--Jack, Round Rob, Gripper, and Estelle--learns what he/she is made of. I got caught up in the story and forgot that these were machines as the story moved to its climax. The author makes it clear just how devastating loss can be and what pride can make someone do. Although this book won't be to everyone's taste, I can certainly see many middle grade readers fascinated by technology, inventions, and alternative history enjoying it.
