The Starlight Watchmaker

★★★★★

Readers are treated to a rich and brilliantly bonkers story of aliens and androids in this sci-fi novella from Lauren James, bestselling author of The Loneliest Girl In The Universe.

Bicycle-riding butterflies, adolescent planets and clockwork moths are all thrown in. It tells the story of lonely android watchmaker Hugo, who works on the campus of an elite academy for wealthy aliens. When haughty duke Dorian demands Hugo mends his broken time-travel watch, it leads the pair on an adventure to foil a sinister plot.
