This is a fun YA steampunk adventure that’s part Metabarons ([b:The Metabarons: Ultimate Collection|12123436|The Metabarons Ultimate Collection|Alejandro Jodorowsky|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1330019364s/12123436.jpg|2744890]) and part Steam Boy ([b:スチームボーイ 絵コンテ集 The Storyboard Book: Steam Boy|1003043|スチームボーイ 絵コンテ集 The Storyboard Book Steam Boy|Katsuhiro Otomo|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1180136434s/1003043.jpg|988533]).
