Christopher is ‘proper’: a real boy with a real soul, orphaned in a fire.

He works for an engineer, a maker of the eccentric, loyal and totally individual mechanicals who are Christopher’s best friends. But after a devastating accident, a secret is revealed and Christopher’s world is changed forever. What follows is a remarkable adventure, as Christopher discovers who he really is, and what it means to be human.

Book Features:

  • A debut Irish talent storms onto the middle-grade scene with this heartfelt tale of humanity, adventure and belonging.
  • Pinocchio meets The Wizard of Oz with a hint of Northern Lights as a boy and his mechanical friends discover the truth about his past.
  • As well as being a fast-paced adventure, Tin is a thought-provoking and timely novel, with strong themes of friendship, war and what it really means to be human.
  • A wonderful ensemble cast populates an alternative England of the 1930s.
