Harley Hitch and the Iron Forest

Description

A highly illustrated fiction series about a determined

young inventor, from award-winning author Vashti Hardy.

‘A joyful mash-up of robots, conservationism and school story’

– The Guardian

Join Harley, her robot dog Sprocket

and best friend Cosmo for problem-solving

adventures and mysteries in Inventia, a world

where science rules and technology grows

in the forest; and where exploding science projects,

giant slugs and runaway robots are all part of a normal school

day.

The Iron Forest near Harley’s home is unlike any other –

plants and trees grow cogs and hinges and other mechanical

parts – and all of Inventia depends on it. So when a strange

fungus is discovered, there’s a race to

find a solution. Without essential parts for inventions, the town

is quickly falling apart…

But just who or what is behind the mysterious infestation?

Harley decides it’s up to her to save the day –

with chaotic results!

Perfect for fans of Amelia Fang and Isadora Moon, this is a rollicking

adventure that celebrates STEM learning!

Heavily illustrated with lively, humourous illustrations by George

Ermos
