The Curious Affair of the Clockwork Canary

Young inventor Jasper Finch expects nothing more than dust and old tools when he inherits his grandfather's forgotten workshop. Then he finds the clockwork canary. This is no ordinary toy. With brass feathers, glass bead eyes, and a mechanism hiding something deep inside, the bird holds the key to Jasper's greatest family secret. Wherever its light falls, a new clue appears. Every clue leads to another piece of a puzzle decades in the making.
Soon Jasper finds himself chasing shadows through antique shops, hidden rooms, and forgotten corners of the city. Along the way, he gains unlikely companions: Corbin, a grumpy clock repairman with a heart of gold; Maeve, a museum director who knew his grandfather better than anyone; and Pippa Wren, an eccentric antique dealer with secrets of her own. Each discovered piece brings Jasper closer to understanding the man his grandfather really was.
But the true discovery isn't the machine they're building together-it's the family they become along the way. The Curious Affair of the Clockwork Canary is a heartwarming steampunk mystery about legacy, second chances, and the beautiful things we build when we build them together.
