With each chapter being the point of view of one of three characters, this novel tells the tale of the intertwined lives of three children.Giuseppe, Frederick and Hannah are seemingly very different, but perhaps they are not after all. In a strange turn of events the children realized that they can help each other solve each other's problems as well as their own. This novel, considering that it is Matthew J. Kirby's first, is an impressive start. With a touch of fantastical, science, and historical elements, I think it is difficult to decided which genre this book belongs to, but I believe realistic fiction also fits well. This is indeed a book for a young audience, thus, I had bought this book quite a while ago, but I decided to read it again recently. The author tried to put a lot in to one book, and it was moderately successful. The book reminded me slightly of Charles Dickens in the sense of the setting/historical background. The Clockwork Three is a great book that recommend kids to read.
