Reeve, Philip

Larklight: A Rousing Tale of Dauntless Pluck in the Farthest Reaches of Space

405 pp. | Bloomsbury | October, 2006 | Trade ISBN 1-59990-020-3 $16.95
(1) 4-6 Illustrated by David Wyatt. Art and his prim sister live in an alternate nineteenth century in which Britain has colonized the solar system. When elephant-sized space-spiders attack their home, the siblings must stiff-upper-lip their way through the ensuing adventure. Capturing both the pathos and humor of every absurd situation, Reeve offers a genre-defying work that melds deadpan comedy, political satire, sci-fi epic, and pirate caper.
