Sophie must play the role of the Clockwork Queen in order to free her father in this page-turning historical adventure from Cogheart author Peter Bunzl. Chess prodigy Sophie Peshka inherited her love of the game from her grandmaster father. But now that he has been imprisoned in the dungeons of the Winter Palace in St Petersburg by powerful Empress Catherine the Great, Sophie must use all her strategic skill and cunning to help him escape. Part of Sophie’s plan involves an incredible chess-playing automaton called the Clockwork Queen, but will the Queen be able to outwit the Empress in a game where the stakes are a matter of life and death?

The book is about the clockwork queen and Sophie. Clockwork queen is a wooden clockwork who plays chess. In the story Sophie plays against the clockwork queen but loses. She lost because Olga, the daughter of Mr Kon is controlling the clockwork queen inside a secret compartment. They play against the empress and then Sophie, who was in the secret compartment was controlling the clockwork by pulling the levers, and won. Yes it's worth recommending.

I rated this book 5 stars because it is very exciting. my favourite character was the clockwork queen, who is an android that plays chess. I would recommend it to people who like playing chess. i would also recommend it if you want to read medium-length books, not long books, for the challenge.
