Sedgwick, Jamie, The Tinkerer’s
Daughter. Timber Hill Press, 2008. Pgs. 313.
Breeze is an outcast. She’s a
Halfling whose father was killed in battle. Taken by a reclusive tinkererer,
Breeze never knew her fae elven mother. Looked down upon by the villagers,
Breeze takes solace in helping her adoptive father create inventions. When one
of his inventions turns out to be a plane, Breeze sees potential to end the war
between her mother’s and father’s people. Things grow worse when she discovers
that the Kanters, another local race that is cannibalistic, is the reason the
war between the two has never ended. Breeze realizes she will have to become a
traitor to both countries in order to save them from the greater evil. Will she
succeed?
The characters are likable and
entertaining. The plot is well-developed and does a great job of keeping the
reader’s engaged. Readers who like fantasy, adventure, suspense, and stories
dealing with elven/human relations will enjoy reading this book.
Gr 5 to 9, 4.5 stars
