I hope that middle school girls and even high school girls would pick this book up and see that there is so much more they can be than what has been expected of them for years. The idea of a female inventor and scientist is certainly an area where society is trying to introduce more females, so it is certainly timely. The cover of this book is what initially drew me to it. Nick is a strong female lead character and the story is more about friendship, than romance. She meets two wonderful friends and she has her first friendships with other people. Nick is trying to make enough money to get her own studio for her inventing. When the steps stumble upon some of her inventions, they nickname her Mechanica, thus the title of the book. ![]() When she turns 16, a letter from her mother is slid under her door and she is able to find her mother's laboratory and do some inventing of her own. ![]() The fey have been banished from the kingdom and magic has been outlawed. Besides that, that story is very different. There is also a prince or heir as he is referred to, he needs to find a wife. They treat her horribly just like the fairy tale version we all know. When her father remarries shortly after her death, he brings home her step-mother and 2 step-sisters. Her mother was an inventor who taught Nicolette many things before she died. You have Nicolette, Nick as the steps call her, who wants to be an inventor. This is an amazing version of the Cinderella Story. ![]()
