The Mechanics of Mechanicsville

The Mechanics of Mechanicsille is the story of how a small town, North East of the city of Richmond Virginia, nestled amongst lush forests and green fields got its name. In Old Mechanicsville stands a stone windmill, now a landmark in the village. The windmill is decorative and driven by an electric motor. That windmill is said to house the mystical creatures known locally as "The Mechanics!" Russ Brown and Jamie Cosley have previously worked together on MONSTERS IN MY MATH BOOK and the hugely popular POPPY'S PLANET. Russ' imaginative and educational style, brought about through years working as a teacher himself, is perfectly accentuated by Jamie's colourfully vibrant illustrations.
