Review:
Readers will be enraptured by this gripping tale, which delivers fast-paced fantasy and rich psychological drama.... The protagonists' experiences of social injustices add to the text's philosophical meatiness, making it much more than a simple adventure story.
From the Author:
Climbing to the Stars. When I was a little kid, I used to wonder if I could climb into outer space, if I had a ladder tall enough. What would stop me? It might get cold, but I could wear a thick coat. I might run out of air to breathe, but I could bring a tank on my back. So really, what would stop me?
It's not as crazy as it sounds. About 100 years ago, a Russian scientist called Konstantin Tsiolkovsky came up with the idea of building a ladder, or cable, from earth all the way to outer space. At the very end, 22,000 miles from earth, would be a space station that would orbit our planet, keeping the cable taut, so that an elevator could ride up and down, carrying people and cargo into space.
When I heard about this space elevator idea, I thought how amazing it would've been, if this space elevator had actually been built, 100 years ago. And so I decided to write about it my third Airborn book, Starclimber.(And by the way, the space elevator is theoretically possible. Scientists all over the world are working on it right now!)
--Kenneth Oppel
