4-6Carmer and Grit series.
Mechanical genius Carmer and his fairy friend Grit encounter a dirigible-type airshow with circus entertainment enhanced by magic from the Free Folk faeries. The Unseelie faerie court, however, is trying to sabotage the works. The strong main characters follow clues, uncover changelings, and finesse the politics of the faerie court in an enchanting steampunk setting that combines turn-of-the-twentieth-century technological advances with faerie magic.
