About this title.
Patricia is a smart, modern girl. When she discovers the incredible Steel City and its amazing secrets, she learns how to make friends and survive in the hard-headed society of steel men. It is a society where one wrong move could put her on the scrap heap! A delightful and charming adventure into another world, only a stone’s throw away from our own, Steel City follows classics such as Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass and L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz into the realm of fantasy very well indeed. The characters are vividly believable and the action is enthralling, with an underlying humour that young readers will love.
