Books in Clockwork Calico series

Calico Cogg is a cat like no other. Rescued from the streets of Ticswyk by esteemed inventor Lionel Cogg, she has been fitted with implants to enhance her natural feline abilities. When Lionel is kidnapped, Cali must put her skills to the test to free him. Dark schemes are in the works—a plague of tiny clockwork spiders are wreaking havoc on the city’s inhabitants. Only Cali, with help from her trusted mouse friend Emmit, can get to the bottom of it all. With a criminal mastermind planning a major heist, Cali must race against time to unravel his plot before he escapes with the city’s greatest treasure.

A new exhibit featuring Egyptian artifacts uncovered by renowned Egyptologist Carter Porchester has arrived at Ticswyk’s museum. It’s the talk of the town, and tourists have flocked to the city to view this rare collection. Cali, the clockwork calico cat, is among the privileged few to receive a tour given by Porchester himself. As the exhibit gains popularity, strange events begin to occur. The massive obelisk standing in the museum’s courtyard illuminates in every color imaginable, its cause unknown. Many believe it’s a sign from the ancient Egyptians, their cryptic magic reaching out from beyond the ages. Not only that, there are rumors that a mummy has risen from its tomb and now stalks Ticswyk’s darkest streets. It’s up to Cali and her mouse friend Emmit to find the truth behind these bizarre occurrences.

For the first time ever, the city of Ticswyk is hosting its very own airship race. The winner will receive a prize that any tinker would covet—the chance to have his or her airship mass-produced. Lionel is determined to win, spending night and day preparing the finest engine ever built. But his old nemesis, Jamison Morcroft, is skulking about, trying to steal the Master Tinker’s design. Cali will stop at nothing to protect her dearest friend, even if it means facing down Morcroft himself. Determined to find out what he’s up to, she risks her life investigating the evil man’s schemes. With help from Emmit and a new canine pal, Gadget, the trio set out to keep Lionel, and his airship, safe from harm.
