We have two central characters - Aleksander, son of the murdered archduke and on the run from his own Clanker people, and Deryn, a girl who disguised as boy to join the British Air Service so she could work with beasties and who's crash landed where she shouldn't.

In this world, the Clanker Powers (Germany) use machines we would just about recognise today - except that lots of them have legs.

Often, the world is an alternate history past, but it can be the future too. Basically, steampunk fiction is set in a world in which steam is still the main source of power. If you're not a trainspotterish fan of the maze of sci-fi and fantasy sub-genres, you may not know what steampunk is, let alone whether or not you or your children will like it.
