A nice little middle grade novel with a charming cast of characters and an intriguing plot. The plot isn't overly complicated but will challenge younger readers to use their imagination for creative problem solving and promote analytical and critical thinking skills. The message about not judging a

book by its cover is conveyed subtly and without cheesiness that's often present in this genre. I enjoyed the illustrations and the further information provided at the back on valves and the riveters. It adds another dimension to the story and encourages younger readers to learn more about the world. Target audience - 4 stars.
