Enter a past in which airplanes have never been invented, giant airships rule
the skies and the glittering skyscrapers of Lionsgate City, Canada’s greatest
metropolis, rise near the Pacificus Ocean. When Matt Cruse, cabin boy on the
luxury airship Aurora, fearlessly performs a dramatic rescue to save an old man
from his damaged hot air balloon, he doesn’t know what events he’s setting in
motion. Will he and the balloonist’s fiery granddaughter, Kate de Vries, be able
to solve the mystery of impossible flying creatures seen among the clouds? And
will they figure it out before pirates and shipwreck end their voyage forever?
Winner of the Governor General’s Award for Children’s
Literature and many other national and international honours, Kenneth Oppel’s
tale of aerial adventure has fired the imaginations of readers around the world.
An instant classic!
