Because behind locked doors—in opulent parlors and pneumatic forests and a master toymaker&’s workshop—the once-great flying city protects a powerful secret, hidden away for centuries. A secret that&’s about to ignite a war. One small airship, the Halcyon, has slipped through the ominous blockade on a mission to collect Milo—and the rich bounty on his head—before the fighting begins. But the members of the Halcyon&’s misfit crew aren&’t the only ones chasing Milo Quick. True friendship is worth any risk in this clever, heart-racing adventure from award-winning author and journalist Jason Sheehan. Sheehan weaves together wry narration and multiple points of view to craft a richly imagined tale that is dangerous and surprising, wondrous and joyful.
