Mechanica de Betsy Cornwell

Mechanica

Autor Betsy Cornwell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2016 – vârsta de la 12 ani
A New York Times Bestseller
Nicolette’s awful stepsisters call her “Mechanica” to demean her, but the nickname fits: she learned to be an inventor at her mother’s knee. Her mom is gone now, though, and the Steps have pushed her into a life of dreary servitude. When she discovers a secret workshop in the cellar on her sixteenth birthday—and befriends Jules, a tiny magical metal horse—Nicolette starts to imagine a new life for herself. And the timing may be perfect: There’s a technological exposition and a royal ball on the horizon. Determined to invent her own happily-ever-after, Mechanica seeks to wow the prince and eager entrepreneurs alike.

Recenzii

* "A smart, refreshing alternative to stale genre tropes."
—Kirkus, starred review
"Mechanicahas a thoroughly modern theme and teaches young readers to find their passion and become self-reliant."
—VOYA
"Readers looking for an atypical fairy tale will find this refreshing because it relies less on traditional romance or happy endings, and more on living independently and unconventionally, loving freely, and being able to choose your own destiny."
—School Library Journal
"Fans of fairy-tale updates will find it easy to lose themselves in this bright, romantic story, whose hero shows she can not only have it all but also do it herself."
—Publishers Weekly
