But an even bigger mystery emerges while on her adventures, accompanied by new best friends Lillian, Billy and Joe. Sophie is an orphan and young employee at Sinclair's, determined to track down the violent thief who's stolen a priceless clockwork sparrow from the store. Sinclair's, a luxury department store in London's Piccadilly, is the perfect setting for Sophie Taylor's story. I love taking my time, carefully discovering the delights each floor has to offer (I must admit, the food hall is a firm favourite). I've always enjoyed ornate department stores. I'm a big fan of middle grade mysteries, so The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow was pretty high on my TBR. This is a review of both The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow and The Mystery of the Jewelled Moth, but does not contain spoilers about either.
