From the publisher

Three mechanically created siblings set out to uncover the truth behind their inventor mother’s disappearance in this whimsical mystery adventure from renowned social media storytellers Tristan Tales and Luke Pounder. Perfect for fans of The Swifts and A Series of Unfortunate Events. In the town of Blissburg, everything is perfect. The lawns are trimmed to an identical length, the streets shine without a speck of dust, and everyone lives in harmony … or do they? High above the town, in the fantastical workshop known as the Observatory, order dissolves into wacky weirdness. This is the home of the extraordinary Cogsworth siblings–Orion, Scorpius, and Lyra–who were created by the genius inventor Dr. Eliza Cogsworth. The Cogsworths have never stepped foot outside their secluded haven, but when Dr. Cogsworth disappears under mysterious circumstances, they are thrust into the real world, where their wires, cogs, and goggles stick out like sore thumbs. As the siblings dive deeper into the search for their mother, they uncover a sinister plan beneath the town’s perfect facade. The clock is ticking. Can the Cogsworths find their mother and save the town before time runs out? Packed with explosions, inventions, and a hilarious robot sidekick, The Cogsworths is a thrilling adventure about embracing your differences and having the courage to stand against conformity in a world obsessed with uniformity.
