SYNOPSIS: Set in an alternate World War I, the Austro-Hungarians and Germans are set for war, and the British are prepared to meet them in battle. The story follows Aleksander, a royal heir on the run, and Deryn, a girl disguised as a boy in order to be a pilot in the war. When their paths cross, they are started on a journey full of adventure and danger.
AUNT SHARON'S TAKE: I had enjoyed other Westerfeld novels, so I gave this one a try and really enjoyed it. It was my first experience with the Steampunk genre, and I thought it was a fun book. There is violence, as well as a few very mild sexual references, but otherwise, I would definitely recommend it.
