ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Dear reader,
Seven years ago, I dreamed of writing a short book about a Victorian orphan with the potential to change the world. Little did I know, he would change mine. Flash forward to now and Toby’s adventures span a whole trilogy that have been enjoyed by thousands of readers.
Thanks to him, I’ve found a passion and met hundreds of phenomenal people, both inside and outside the world of publishing. Some have even joined my team, without whom I could never get this far.
My editors, David Norrington and Joe Moore, are among the most vital. Between them, they have cut, tweaked and reassembled these books into polished prose – and also pointed out all of the inaccuracies I definitely put in on purpose to test them.
Zoe Foster, my cover designer, also deserves special
