Mothstorm: The Horror from Beyond Uranus Georgium Sidus!
Ebook
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
Overview
When the festive season arrives at Larklight, so does some unsettling news. A sinister-looking cloud is fast approaching the outskirts of the Known Universe. The closest planet, Georgium Sidus, has but two human inhabitants: the missionary Rev Cruet and his daughter Charity: most recent communication: ’Great danger - imperative that-’.
And so, aboard a Naval Gunship, Art, Myrtle and family, bravely go where only one man and his daughter have gone before, to determine the nature of the menacing cloud and rescue the Cruets.
Seven stars and counting! Get ready for the third, rousing tale of Art, Myrtle, and life in Victorian outerspace.
More stars than an intergalactic adventure: This is a critically acclaimed series with 7 starred reviews across two titles.
Publication of Mothstorm in hardcover coincides with paperback of Starcross
Cinematic packaging draws the eye--and the fantastic interior illustrations keep the playful look going.
Think Lemony Snicket meets Jules Verne (in outerspace!). A high-concept crowd pleaser for kids who like fantasy that pushes the boundaries of the genre.

*"A dashing and outrageous sequel..." -PW, starred review
