Matt Cruse, a cabin boy on the airship Aurora, helps rescue hot air balloonist Benjamin Molloy. Later, Molloy's granddaughter Kate travels on the Aurora hoping to learn more about the strange winged mammals the balloonist wrote about in his journal. Set in an alternate Edwardian-styled past and featuring an enthusiastic narrator, this is a fast-paced fantasy-adventure.
