|sort=Peculiar
|reviewer=Jill Murphy
|genre=Teens
|summary=Highly enjoyable fantasy novel combining elements of the steampunk, urban and faerie genres. The writing is beautiful, precise and elegant, and the plot unwinds fantastically. I'd like to see the sequels bring some more intense characterisation. Stefan Bachmann popped into Bookbag Towers to [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Stefan Bachmann|chat to us]].

My wanting to like ''The Peculiar'' as aside as I can manage, I think, if you like faerie or steampunk fantasy - or both - you'll enjoy it. I did. Truly.
If steampunk is your thing, you'll also enjoy [[Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld]] and [[Ancient Appetites by Oisin McGann]]. I think you'd also have fun with the books about [[The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud|Bartimaeus]] by Jonathan Stroud. You might also enjoy [[Song of the Slums by Richard Harland]].
