Children of the Flying City

“Richly imagined and emotionally resonant, Children of the Flying City is a fantasy for young and old alike. This book gave my heart wings.” 
–Pierce Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Red Rising\n“Children of the Flying City feels, at once, timeless and wondrously, gloriously new.” 
–Katie Williams, author of Tell the Machine Goodnight\nBrought to the flying city of Highgate when he was only five years old, orphan Milo Quick has never known another home. Now almost thirteen, Milo survives one daredevil grift at a time, relying only on his wit, speed, and best friends Jules and Dagda.\nA massive armada has surrounded Highgate’s crumbling armaments. 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.\nTrue 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.

Like Studs Terkel's Working and David Brooks's Bobos in Paradise, The Banana Sculptor... captures the follies, the obsessions, and the dreams (sublime or ridiculous) that define our individuality and our notions of happiness. With wit and without ever passing judgment, the authors bring to life the amazing ways in which people relax, compete with others, and exercise their imaginations.The activities described range from an attempt to swim all the Great Lakes, to carving the Last Supper in wood, to amassing the world's largest collection of marbles. One person is determined to eat at every McDonald's in the nation, another to cross all the world's suspension bridges. There are collectors of talking birds and of Noah's arks; champion bakers, in-line skaters, and kite-flyers. But no matter how odd or how mundane their pursuits may seem, it is impossible not to admire their commitment to achieving their goals.
