At the end of the 23rd Century, Earth can no longer support wildlife. The warnings have been ignored. As many Earth species begin to disappear, a new form of life emerges as clever human designers create robotic creatures in a nostalgic link to the past. Collectors and sanctuaries across the globe collect and display these Mechanicafor the general public's enjoyment. But something goes terribly wrong# This beautiful picture book, created by Australian illustrator and author Lance Balchin, is an encyclopedia of Mechnicacreatures with a strong steampunk style and fictional narrative. Author appearing at this year's Brisbane Writers Festival as part of the main program, the Word Play Schools' Program and the online program which means exposure to hundreds of children, their teachers and the book-loving public at large. Incredibly detailed and beautifully realised illustrations supported by a narrative thread which features a 15 year-old heroine - Liberty Crisp. A picture book that children will pore over again and again - if they can keep it off their parent's coffee table! A cautionary tale which will provoke discussion. Lance Balchin studied photography at the University of Tasmania and went on to complete a Masters of Arts and Bachelor of Laws. e has worked as a head chef, co-owned a media production company, worked in fashion photography and fine art portraiture, and taught adult photography
