Because you do have to realize you write for middle grade. And especially the combination of violence, guns, family members, drowning and death is a combination that I don’t think should have happened in this middle grade. The end of Cogheart already had some violence that was on the border. I am conflicted on this book to be honest.Īnd I am just going to start with the problem I have. Moonlocket is the sequel to Cogheart, a middle grade steampunk book I read earlier this year. Now Lily and Malkin, the mechanical fox, must stay one step ahead before Jack plays his final, deadly card… Jack is playing a cruel game that Robert is a part of. Suddenly, dark secrets from Robert’s past plunge him into danger. For Jack is searching for the mysterious Moonlocket – but that’s not the only thing he wants. Storm clouds gather over Lily and Robert’s summer when criminal mastermind the Jack of Diamonds appears. Trigger Warnings: Violence / Drowning / Death of a Family Member / Gun / Gunshots
