The Incredible Talking Machine by Jenni Spangler

4.0

What a lovely MG novel, with a fantasy (gothic) element and a real historical fact as background. Tig is a lovely protagonist, and while the book drags a bit at the start, it picks up later on. The detail of working in a theatre much before modern amenities like electricity was available is fascinating.

Will definitely be recommending this to young and old readers who like a bit of magic and spooks in their lives.
