“Part Gulliver’s Travels, part Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, part Pilgrim’s Progress, this is thoroughly original and full of ideas” (Books for Keeps).

In a richly imaginative tale, perfect for both boys and girls as they launch themselves into the world of fiction as independent readers, Alex Shearer creates a Dahl-esque fantasy that roams through realms of magic, wonder, and adventure.

In a world where water is scarce and deadly jellyfish swim through the sky, overprotected Christien dreams of excitement, adventure, and even a bit of danger. When he meets the exotic and alluring Jenine and her family of cloud hunters, he becomes determined to fulfill his dreams and see what this nomadic tribe of people is all about.

Set apart from society with their darker, heavily tattooed skin and distinctive facial scars, the cloud hunters have fascinated Christien for years—and he is only too eager to join Jenine on their sky ship. But this is no ordinary cloud hunting trip—Christien finds that he’s been brought along to help rescue Jenine’s father, who’s being held prisoner on the Forbidden Isles. Will their elaborate rescue plan succeed? Will Christien take up the cloud hunters’ offer to become one of them—scars and all? Or will Christien find that there is something even more important to him than adventure in the high skies?

“A creative and fascinating idea, well-written with interesting characters and scenery.” —The Guardian

“A thrilling and thought provoking adventure fantasy set in a world without water.” —Julia Eccleshare, LoveReading4Kids
