Baba Ali and the Clockwork Djinn: A Steampunk Faerie Tale by Day Al-Mohamed, Danielle Ackley-McPhail

4.0

This is my first book by this author, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. This is a little different than I am used to reading but it did keep me turning pages. This is a well developed story that has characters that brought the story to life for me. I could imagine being there with them and felt as if I was on the adventure with Ali. When a mysterious box gets delivered to Ali, her world is about to be turned upside down. Not only that but he is summoned home for his father’s death. He is faced with a mystery to solve of the box and clockwork djinn but may just take faith, knowledge and destiny to solve it. This is a great story I found hard to put down once I got into it. I enjoyed the author’s creation of the characters that kept me reading. I highly recommend this book.
