Ah yes that's the one. Thank you.
All evil, all good. Is one.
Has anyone else remembered a book about three children, one is a clock makers apprentice who wants to make a full working automaton. As in speaking, thinking, walking, the whole ordeal pretty much like a robot. Another is a girl who works as a maid to make money in order to support her sick father and has a really mean boss. It's when she meets one of the guests I believe she's a voodoo queen that her life begins to get better. The third is another boy who is an orphan who plays a fiddle on the streets for money since he lives with other orphans who are watched over by a man who forces them to pay money, and has a pit he throws them in as punishment. He is the one who finds the magic green fiddle that can play music so beautifully everyone falls in love with the music.
