Poryk Kenny — Irish writer. "Tin can", his debut novel, immediately broke into the top "Book of the month" and won several international awards. In the world where twelve-year-old Christopher lives, there are mechanisms endowed with consciousness-mechanicals. They can do hard work, talk, even... to feel emotions — although you can animate them by applying "principles of enhanced activation", is strictly prohibited by law. Disobedient engineers will be severely punished. But some still take risks and create mechanicals, absolutely similar to people... After losing his parents in a fire, Christopher is apprenticed to a failed engineer whose mechanics are falling apart on the run-and it is they, ridiculous and simple — minded, who become his new family. But one day, after a terrible accident, a secret is revealed that destroys the usual world. A teen steampunk cocktail of Pinocchio and Northern lights. For children of secondary school age.
