Cogheart Adventures Series (Vol 1-4) 4 Books Collection Set by Peter Bunzl

Product Information

A: The idea that came first was the automatons or little machines. I was reading a history of automatons in the eighteenth century and how eighteenth century inventors were trying to bring these machines to life. There were lots of discussions at the time about these new machines, for example whether they would have a soul or not. So the whole idea of bringing machinery to life attracted me.

This is a book with a great heroine and an intriguing storyline, set in an alternate Victorian Era. It talks about friendship, kindness, and hope. A: That would be Mould and Roach, the henchmen. I was reading a lot of Neil Gaiman who has fabulous villains and I saw these two in my head and one of them had these awful silver mirror eyes - perfect! This second Cogheart Adventure is full of daring, danger and family secrets. It was nonimated for the Books Are My Bag Reader Award.Author Guy Bass introduces SCRAP, about one robot who tried to protect the humans on his planet against an army of robots. Now the humans need his... I would probably take it on a voyage across the Atlantic. On one of the routes that real historical airships used to take: from Europe to America. Q: During this adventure we meet a child who is a 'hybrid' and who can fly. If you could be part mechanical, what part(s) of you would you choose to be mechanical, or would you want to have built to give you special skills?

A: I would like to take a trip on Ladybird, which is Anna Quinn's airship. I think she would be a fun pilot to travel with and I love the idea of a small and comfy dirigible - a bit like a caravan or barge - that flies about here and there.

Q: This is your third Cogheart book, do you enjoy revisiting the world? How do you go about thinking of new adventures for your lead characters, Lily, Robert and Malkin, or did you have these planned out when you began the Cogheart series? Q: The villains in the story are ruthless in their pursuit of Lily but were probably fun to write - who is your favourite? A: I'm not a natural engineer but I did need to know how airships operated for the story so I did some research into how they were engineered. I discovered that there are places in America today where they are trying to build modern versions of the old airships for military contracts.
