What if man journeyed into space in 1869, not 1969? In search of the mysterious element known as aether, Claire Dulac flew her hot-air balloon toward the edge of our stratosphere - and never returned. One year after her disappearance, her son and husband are delivered a tantalizing clue: a letter from an unknown sender who claims to have Claire's lost logbook. The letter summons them to a Bavarian castle, where an ambitious young king dreams of flying the skies in a ship powered by aether. But within the castle walls, danger lurks, for -there are those who would stop at nothing to conquer the stars!
Castle in the Stars: The Space Race of 1869 is a story that appeals to all ages. To dreamers and those fascinated by imaginative pieces of work that are both grounded and fantasy at the same time, it can be truly counted as a new age fairy tale that you could read to your child with the knowledge that it is sure to spark their imagination from start to finish. This is a book that I take with me often when I travel and I personally recommend giving it a read, you won't regret it. Read Full Review
