LRC Book Critic - The Clockwork Sparrow by Katherine Woodfine

This book is about Sophie, she was a rich and spoilt girl who had everything she ever wanted.

But when her father died, everything started to crash down and she was left penniless and

alone. In order to carry on living she pulls herself together by finding a job. However,

when she was a suspect of a stolen clockwork sparrow, she was fired and she needed help

from her friends: Lil and Billy to clear her name and get her job back. This book is different to other  

books because in between a few chapters there are a hats and it explains what and why they wear

them (because she works on hats).   Plus, in the book the description of Sinclair’s store is so detailed

you could picture it. My favourite character is Lil, she is one of the ’mannequins’ and she wants to be

a famous actor.  This is because she is very loyal and a very good friend to Sophie.
