"Welcome to the Attic Kingdom—where every old treasure is a new invention!"
Step into the enchanting world of Emmie, a clever young girl who doesn't see a dusty storage space when she looks at her attic—she sees a kingdom of endless possibilities. As a master inventor, Emmie spends her days transforming ordinary objects into extraordinary machines, showcasing her brilliant engineering skills.
But every kingdom has its challenges! When a mischievous black-and-white cat decides to move in, Emmie must use her wits to protect her domain. What follows is a lively cat-and-mouse caper as Emmie designs increasingly complex contraptions to outsmart her furry interloper.
With an art style that feels like Rube Goldberg meets David Macaulay, this book is a visual feast for curious minds. It celebrates the "maker" spirit, resilience, and the heartwarming discovery that sometimes, a supposed foe can become your greatest friend.
