A mind-bending adventure from the author of Brightstorm! A year after the death of her older brother, Prue Haywood’s family is still shattered by grief. But everything changes when a stranger arrives at the farm. A new, incredible technology has been discovered in the city of Medlock, where a secretive guild of inventors have developed a way to capture spirits of the dead in animal-like machines, bringing them back to life. Prue knows that the ""Ghost Guild"" might hold the key to bringing her brother back, so she seizes the stranger’s offer to join as an apprentice. But to find her brother, she needs to find a way to get the ghost machines to remember the people they used to be. Yet if Prue succeeds, all of society could come apart… ""Hardy has a laser-like sense of what appeals to her readership"" - Literary ReviewReviews
Little character development, but otherwise richly imagined and an interesting read. I would not recommend it as an exciting book though. It falls a bit flat.

this book is brilliant! it is full of mystery and adventure and lots of 'what will they do?' moments. it is also about friendships and working out who to trust. i would recommend this book to children age 8-11 who like stories about fictional inventions and futuristic stories.

Only just started, but it already sounds like a great book

Wow - this is a really good story but I did feel sorry for Prue because she had a really hard decision to make about keeping her brother as a second lifer. It sounds like a good school and I think I wold like to go there. I liked it too that all the characters were different but in the end they know how to make good choices. I liked Prue but she had to work hard and make difficult choices. I'm glad I don't have to do that! Yes, it is a good book and I'm reading it again already and I want her other books for my birthday!

This book is absolutely amazing and I recommend it to people who like fiction, twists in the story line and machines. It is about a girl called Prue who sets out on a quest to get her dead brother back. She tries to bring him back as a personifate, a ghost in a mechanical body, but not everything goes to plan… I loved this book- 5/5!
