Mechanica by Betsy Cornwell

Nicolette's awful stepsisters call her Mechanica to demean her, but the nickname fits: she learned to be an inventor at her mother's knee. Her mom is gone now, though, and the Steps have pushed her into a life of dreary servitude. When she discovers a secret workshop in the cellar on her sixteenth birthday-and befriends Jules, a tiny magical metal horse-Nicolette starts to imagine a new life for herself. And the timing may be perfect: There's a technological exposition and a royal ball on the horizon. Determined to invent her own happily-ever-after, Mechanica seeks to wow the prince and eager entrepreneurs alike.

Tides, Mechanica, and The Forest Queen are among Betsy Cornwell's New York Times best-selling novels. She holds a master's degree in creative writing from Notre Dame and currently resides in Ireland with her family. Bettsy Cornwell's website is www.betsycornwell.com.
