Description:
Harlow Morgan: Airship pilot, trouble magnet, possibly glowing.
Airship pilot-in-training, Harlow Morgan is a wiz in the sky, but her father's disappointment on the ground.
In the steam-powered nation of Corshire, where science reigns and magic is outlawed, Harlow's famous inventor father expects perfection. Her twin sister delivers. Harlow? Not so much. She'd rather fly airships at the Academy than follow in his brilliant footsteps.
But when she tells a reckless lie to save her family name, she puts a classmate's future at risk and exposes a hidden magical artifact tied to her father. Before she knows it, Harlow is swept into a dangerous underground magic war. With strange light burning across her skin and outlaw sorcerers on her trail, Harlow teams up with the boy she betrayed to unlock the truth behind the artifact ... and survive the unpredictable city in the sky.
If the deadly Magics don't get her first, her father's secrets just might.
Brief description: Lyndsey Lewellen grew up on a healthy dose of comic books, punk music, and sci-fi. She infuses all three loves into novels written for young adults. Inside her "what if" worlds, her characters take risks, grow, and fight for what matters. When she's not writing or whittling down her endless TBR, she designs novel covers and paints on shoes. She lives on a small Texas farm with her best friend/husband, five children, and what some might call a zoo of animals (especially after meeting the peacocks).
Review Quotes: "Lyndsey Lewellen has written a story that soars-full of heart, humor, and high-stakes adventure. Young readers will be hooked from the very first page."
- J.J. JOHNSON, Award-winning author of the Iggy &Oz series"Lyndsey Lewellen is not only an auto-buy author for me, but the kind of author I stalk on social media for even a whiff of news about her upcoming books. Each latest release always goes straight to the top of the TBR pile. And Harlow Morgan and the Sky City is no exception. I absolutely devoured this delightful steampunk middle grade adventure and am already clamoring for the next book. Bring on more Harlow and Takashi!"- J. J. Fischer, Christy award-winning author of The Nightingole Trilogy, The Soul Mork Duology, and the Pointed Wind Series
