Harley Hitch returns for an airborne adventure in this
highly illustrated fiction series about a determined young inventor
from award-winning author Vashti Hardy.
The Aviation Parade is coming to Forgetown this summer, and Harley
has her sights set on creating a flying machine that will really
stand out: a robot hippogriff! And if the creature impresses
Cosmo's mum enough, surely Cosmo will be able to keep it as a pet?
But Harley wants the flying machine to be a surprise for everyone.
She soon finds that keeping secrets leads to tricky explanations
and lots of trouble - especially when REAL hippogriffs arrive
and cause chaos!
Join Harley, her robot dog Sprocket and best friend Cosmo
for problem-solving adventures and mysteries in a world where science
rules and technology grows in the forest!
A rollicking adventure that celebrates STEM learning! Highly
illustrated with lively, humourous illustrations by George Ermos.
