The Clockwork Adventures

Fifteen-year-old Phillip is shocked to find that his old friend, tailor Naji Najeem, may have just deliberately sent him to a Victorian Steampunk town with the hopes that he could unite the people for one last stand against the oppressors. Accompanied by his best friend and his new tinydog companion, he faces a dangerous world of eccentric inventors, clockwork machinery, deadly metalwork creatures, and airships piloted by killer Automatons. Isn't he still searching for that one family member who is missing? Or is the temptation to serve as the chosen leader too much to turn down? Can he champion the fight for freedom and risk losing the chance to ever go home again?

Our tinydog companion, Pebby, finds herself again, the center of attention! Here is an excerpt: from the book Pebby, splendid in her beloved derby and gear-vest, happily looked out on the crowd of bakers as the entire work floor came to a complete silence. Even the Automaton guards were quiet. Suddenly more than one hundred white hats flew into the air, accompanied by raucous cheering and clapping. Their beloved little vagabond had returned home.
