A children's book for middle readers ages 9-12,
The Inventors' Daughter
is the first in a series of science fiction novels for kids who love action, adventure and science fiction. Not just the inventor's daughter, Erin is
the inventors' daughter
- for she is the only child of
two inventors
.
In short, Erin is an eleven-year-old girl whose job it is to protect her inventor parents from the world - and the world from their unpredictable inventions. Neither genius nor superhero, she is a good hearted kid who, like any other, has homework and friends and
lots
of problems with her parents.
The series is written for middle readers who like the Hugo Cabret, Harry Potter and Lemony Snicket books, and classics like
Harriet the Spy
and
Treasure Island
. Most anyone in grades 3 to 6 or higher will appreciate the mysteries, disguises, chase scenes, riddles and dangers.
Founded by a visionary pirate and a wise Indian princess, Erin Isabelle's Dream City is a towering metropolis spread across three islands a foggy mile off an unnamed coast. It is a port city of lofty skyscrapers and thundering subways. Though five bridges connect the islands, only ferry boats - plying the dark, misty waves - link the city to the mainland ... so far.
What’s the book about? As the story begins, Erin worries that Mom and Dad may lose their jobs teaching at the university. Their Thumperilla robot reduced an unfinished skyscraper to a useless pile of beams. Dad's giant Cyclopedia wobbled through the park smushing the mayor's orchids. Mom's Cupric Accumulator stripped the copper wire from an electrical substation, plunging the city into darkness.
Nevertheless Erin feels hopeful. Mom and Dad's new Notebook Fusionator invention may hold the solution to the energy crisis. In a fiery demonstration with lightning bolts … well, you'll just have to wait until the audio chapters and the book come out to find out the rest. All we can say is that the story has very wicked men with bulldog tattoos, pirates, lots of disguises, a train chase toward certain death - oh, and let's not forget her bandit uncle.
