Riassunto:

'My name is Benjamin Tooth. This is my journal. One day I will be remembered as the greatest scientist that the world has ever known and so it is my duty to mankind to record my thoughts that future generations are able to study the progress of a genius. I am eleven years old.' These are the recently discovered journals of Benjamin Tooth: alchemist, inventor and discoverer of the Windvale sprites. They chronicle his journey of scientific discovery from pompous boy to mad old man in his pursuit of the sprites on Windvale Moor. The sprites hold the key to eternal life, and Tooth is determined to capture it.

Recensione: An extremely funny prequel to [the] Windvale Sprites series and revels in its self-important author's plummy, 18th-century language (The Daily Telegraph)

Takes us back to 1768 and introduces us to the misunderstood scientific genius that is Benjamin (aged 11) (Sunday Express)

The Journal of Benjamin Tooth is a great read-aloud book for bedtime, or a novel to be savoured by children aged nine plus (We Love This Book)

The Lost Journals of Benjamin Tooth has a lot going for it: it's funny with a dry wit, exciting and has a magical quality to it. (Wondrous Reads)

I enjoyed The Lost Journals of Benjamin Tooth and I would definitely read more by Mackenzie again (Much Loved Books)
