Don't worry! Now we have spoken, I fix what is broken.
Beatrice Millicent Robinson is a fixer. She fixes a tiny precious clock with no tock; counting machine which is kaput; and an enormous mechanical elephant that has stopped stomping. Everyone knows Bea can fix anything. One day a spaceship arrives. No problem - Bea can fix this too. Then comes the twist. She finds a small broken heart - how can this be mended?
Bookseller blurb: Bea is a fixer. She is the finest fixer, far and wide, and people bring her everything - from tiny sprockets to enormous rockets - because they know she'll have them working again in no time. One day, Bea finds a broken thing. It's very small and very sad, and try as hard as she might, she cannot fix it. Bea soon realises that not every problem has to be solved alone, and that talking to her friends is the answer she has been looking for.

In an ironic twist - I accidentally spilled a small amount of water on this book - and NO it cannot be fixed not even by Bea. Luckily I have been able to order a brand new copy for the library.
