Media Reviews
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 *
Moonlocket is a spellbinding sequel, a roller coaster journey full of catastrophe, buried secrets, breathtaking courage and intrigue. * Lancashire Post *
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 *

Author's Bio
Peter Bunzl grew up in South London in a rambling Victorian house with three cats, two dogs, one sister, an antique-dealer dad and an artist mum. He is a BAFTA-winning animator, as well as a writer and film-maker. Peter's debut novel, Cogheart, has been shortlisted for lots of awards, including the Waterstones Children's Book Prize. Like Lily and Robert, he loves adventures and reading penny dreadfuls, but wishes dearly that he had a mechanical fox called Malkin.
