A book about the magic of music AND math?!?! What an incredible message! I know I'm a Hermione at heart, but this book made me nostalgic for my favorite teachers XD. These kids kick a mad scientist's butt, save a village's worth of orphans, telepathically fly an airplane, all because of S.T.E.A.M.?!?! (Talk about a steampunk fantasy, har har, mom joke XD). I was so proud that my sons were riveted by this tale, but I was even more tickled that my husband was really into it, as well! This book brought us all together, it was wonderful! Action packed, witty, full of intrigue, and inspiring. Read this book, and then immediately take your family to the nearest children's museum! XD
