The Clockwork Three Audiobook

" ...Maybe just a bit younger than young adult, but I don't have shelf for that yet. "

" This is a well-written book with some beautiful metaphors in it. It also contains some thought-provoking messages about gifts, heart vs. mind, and the balance between nature and progress. And I enjoyed the characters! "

" Great young adult book. My daughter bought it for me at her school book fair. "

" This was a very good book. It surprised me a little, not my normal genre of reading material. Keep in mind that this is a book written for preteen/teen readers. Nevertheless, very well written and had me intrigued through the whole story. Looking forward to more by this author. "

" Recommended by my 12 year-old son, it was a good read and I loved how the characters intertwined throughout the story. "

" I liked this book even though it was predictable. "

" Steampunk. 3 separate children, each in desperate situations, gradually come to know each other and realize that they need each other to solve each of their probs. A mechanical man, an old missing treasure, a fabulous green violin and a mysterious fortune teller all play their parts, as well. "

" An amazing story. This story was an eye opener to child labor here in the early years of the U.S. This story made me cry and rejoice at the end. Worth reading again and again. "

" Although targeted for a younger audience, I still enjoyed it. It was clean & exciting. "

" The story was creative and I enjoyed reading something completely new for a change (not reading a book again or reading the next in a series). The ages and speech of the characters was somewhat unrealistic, but I still enjoyed it. "

" I really enjoyed this book. Great for youth readers, has some history, and it is a fun read. "

" From the Library of Luke, this was a wonderfully written book. One of those I had a hard time putting down and thought about when not reading. Kids are so lucky these days to have books like this to read. "

" Enjoyable read, but I didn't feel like I got all the answers, or understood all that was going on. i thought it was well written and fun. "

" Could not put it down. A fantastically written story about how three young people's lives of torment intertwine, how they make connection with each other, and learn to trust then help each other. Lived it! "

" A clockwork man, and a green violin along with a hidden treasure make this a fun story to read! "

" This book was ok, but the story was thrilling. I was so sad @ the end of this book. This could happen in real life!! "

" I love it there are twists and turns on every page.You must read it. "

" Pretty long for a kids book, but it was a cute story. "

" Pretty good book I read it last year and it was not as good as i remembered it "

" At first, I thought that I would not like this book. Man, I was wrong! Once I started, It was impossible for me to put this down! This suspenseful book will leave you hanging and begging for more. I loved it, and I think that if you give it a try, you will, too. This book is amazing! "

" I love it it is to good for me to say i had trouble finishing this book because I didn't want it to end. it makes me sad to finish it. "

" I loved this book! It was hard to put down. Hope there's more like it in the works! "

" Can't wait for more from this author! Loved how the children found their own solutions (sometimes wise, sometimes not) and the adults were there to help, but let them make mistakes, too. "

" This adventure/mystery tells of three children who work together to improve their lives. My 13-year-old daughter enjoyed it even more than I did. "

" I would have given this book 5 stars, except it isn't exactly as promising as it look. If you read the synopsis on the back, you would think that the book would be more of a mystery, but it basically is adventure. Great book!!! "

" This was a fun adventure! It was about a boy in 1873, who was brought over from Italy to play music in the streets for money. It is based on a true story. I found it interesting and captivating. I wish there was a sequel. "

" I found this while browsing in my school library and wound up reading it in a day. I loved the intricasies of how the plot fit together, just like clockwork. I shall definitely be looking for more from Matthew Kirby. "

" Fun adventure set in urban America during the industrial evolutions. Automatons (these are showing up all over kid’s books right now), a Golem, street urchins, dangerous Fagan type characters, and a kindly clockmaker. Just a touch of the fantastical, but not really magical. Good for 3-6grade "
