OLDER FICTION
Cornwell, Betsy

Mechanica

(3) YA Nicolette must clean house for her demanding "Steps," when she would rather be inventing in her mother's old workshop. Miniature mechanical animals, a little Fey magic, and her own initiative are all this re-imagined Cinderella needs to attend the royal Exposition. Skillful combinations of old and new weave together, creating a meaningful tale exploring social justice, family and love.
