From the publisher:
Forbidden to become a pilot by her overprotective father, Amelia Erroway yearns to command her own airship. To prove her worth, she sets off alone on her father's prized craft. But disaster strikes: A fierce storm crashes her ship in uncharted lands and Amelia, now a castaway, must use her wits to survive. With the help of Rastor and Fynley, brothers who live deep in the Juniper rainforest, Amelia is determined to repair her airship and, with her newly formed crew, fly home.
Kirkus Reviews:
With a science-minded trio to cheer for and several labeled diagrams to delight the meticulous, the story telegraphs its young nerds' success, though Amelia's final choice still comes as a surprise. The watercolor illustrations in intense jewel tones convey a sense of wonder.
