What a fantastic whirlwind invention-based adventure! I loved the inventors' world built in this, I loved the isolated lighthouse island setting, I loved the kooky inventions, but most of all I really liked Leonora. She's a star! And with her self-belief and super-inventing-brainpower she's bound for another adventure that I can't wait to read.

It is brilliantly written. The story flows with lots of proper laugh out loud funny bits. The illustrations are wonderful and very engaging as part of the story. This is definitely a book I would recommend. For those younger children who are just on the point of moving from picture books to chapter books this would fit perfectly as it is a chapter book but it has many many illustrations which mean the chapters are short and fun! Leonora is a great role model and a genius inventor. Leonora is living with her uncle and his housekeeper as her parents are not around yet despite her life not being as good as it could be, she certainly knows what she wants and puts her talents to good use!

When I grow up, I want to be like Leonora Bolt! This was a phenomenal book for young girls and boys alike. There's clever wordplay, an easy to follow story, and a very inspiring main character. Looking forward to sharing more adventures with Leonora in future books.

This one is for the older readers and just under 200 pages long. A tale of adventure, uncovered truths and pure genius inventions. Bound to set your imagination on fire with all these wierd and wacky food inventions, machines and gadgets. Leonora has only ever known the island she has lived on with her uncle and live in nanny, she was told her parents were lost at sea, presumed dead. However, when a boy finds himself stranded on her island after drifting away from the mainland Leonora wants answer, everything she has ever known was a lie and her uncle is an evil villian who has been lying to her and using her inventions as his own. Can Leonora find out the truth about her parents? Can she defeat her evil uncle? She is one strong, determined little girl. An adventure. A mystery. A well deserved four stars from me.
