Baba Ali and the Clockwork Djinn: A Steampunk Faerie Tale by Danielle Ackley-McPhail
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love to use my imagination when reading books like these as I travel to other places, new and exciting. This book takes us into a magical place and teaches us some valuable lessons along the way. Prepare to be taken away as sister Scheherazade could have scarce couldn’t have dreamed of. A tale of glorious, afflicting, tenacity and of course a great tale of devotion.
As they sleep through the night to tale sweet little lies, their truth comes out in daybreak. In ancient times, there was such a thing as corruption spanned through the desert.
Ali bin-Massoud is on assignment in England far from his home as a pupil to Charles Babbage. A clockwork falcon drops off a peculiar box but it changes Ali’s life in unexpected ways. Distress, endangerment, and poachers are on his trek as Ali is summoned home for the death of his father.
It will take conviction, comprehension, devotion and serendipity and more than a little mastery with steam-driven automation. Can he unravel the mystery of the puzzle box and the clockwork djinn before time runs out? An ancient patrimony and Ali’s very life depend on his victory.
