"Ross wastes no time with his worldbuilding, establishing Chess and his crew as a misfit found family working the Fog by day and sharing stories by night. It's a fresh approach, reminiscent of Dickens...the only thing missing is a sequel, which readers hope won't be far behind. " -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"With plenty of action, and characters who are as precocious as they are prodigious at their airship duties, this is a fun beginning to a unique new series. An abundance of pop culture references gone hilariously wrong add appeal for reluctant readers. Oh, and there are air pirates!" -- School Library Journal"Complex, lovable characters; a magical, dangerous world; and a struggle to survive against overwhelming odds. I couldn't put it down!" -- Sage Blackwood, author of the Jinx trilogy"Fast-paced and clever, filled with brave, talented characters--my favorite! It's a classic adventure novel with a postapocalyptic flair and witty reimaginings of modern folklore." -- Merrie Haskell, author of The Castle Behind Thorns
