If you are looking for a book that will take you on an adventure back in time this is it! The 1890's was a time of Queens and Kings, sword fighting, honor, dishonor, pirates and a time of discovery. Conor Broekhart is a young man who shares a dream of flying with his very knowledgeable tutor. Together, they are working on designs for an aircraft that will allow man to fly. Due to the untimely death of his tutor and the death of the king, both of which Conor is blamed, Conor spends some time in a very tough prison far from home. The story is well written and the pace keeps it interesting.
I took this book with me on vacation and could not put it down! The author, Eoin Colfer, is also known for his Artemis Fowl series.
