In Moonlocket, Jack Door's escape leads to a thrilling adventure for Lily and Robert, revealing secrets and dangers from Robert's past.

In Moonlocket, the gripping sequel to the Cogheart Adventures, we follow the infamous escapologist Jack Door as he makes a daring escape from Pentonville Prison. His sights are set on the town of Brackenbridge, where he is determined to locate his missing treasure, the elusive Moonlocket. However, his plans take an unexpected turn when siblings Lily and Robert find themselves inadvertently entangled in his quest. As they delve deeper, they uncover that Robert's hidden past may hold the key to the Moonlocket's location, leading them into a web of danger and intrigue.

As the summer unfolds, dark clouds gather over the trio when the notorious criminal known as the Jack of Diamonds makes his entrance. He is not only after the Moonlocket but has an ulterior motive that threatens their safety. The stakes rise as Robert's past resurfaces, revealing secrets that put him in jeopardy. Jack Door orchestrates a perilous game, and it becomes a race against time for Lily, Robert, and Malkin, the clever mechanical fox, to stay one step ahead and outsmart Jack before he plays his final, deadly card.

Moonlocket is a thrilling blend of adventure, mystery, and steampunk elements, showcasing the courage and resilience of its young heroes. With a richly imagined Victorian backdrop, the story captivates readers, inviting them to experience a world filled with secrets, danger, and the bonds of friendship. This exhilarating tale promises to be a page-turner for fans of fantastical storytelling.

A worthy sequel, with the same whip-smart plot, effortless world building, and delicious warmth. I raced through it... A must-read for all fans of adventure - children or not. * Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Girl of Ink and Stars *

Deliciously dark and irresistibly gripping, Moonlocket proves to be another extraordinary story that you won't want to forget. * Jo Clarke, BookloverJo *
Me and my older son really enjoy reading it. It is great reading, full of mysterious adventures and it took 3 evenings for my 9 years old child to finish! I have to admit that is even better than Cogheart. We are looking forward for the third one... * Malgorzata, Waterstones bookseller *
Normally, the sequel to a great book is generally never quite as good. But Moonlocket was as good, maybe even better! I loved the adventure, the thrill and at times the terror. You never knew what was going to happen next. It was full of surprises. * The Tween Book Blog *
