Skyclyffe
by Z. Moss
Read by Noah Kershisnik
Genre: Middle Grade Science Fiction
Rex Bright enjoys drawing in notebooks and dreaming. He’s thirteen, and his life is ordinary. Until he sees a face in a cloud which changes everything. Rex glimpses the girl from an airplane window while travelling to his aunt and uncle’s farm for the summer. Her features are so perfect, Rex can’t believe she’s only vapor. But Cloud Girl is real. A week later, Skyclyffe, a mysterious airship cloaked in a cumulus, abducts Rex and his family. The captors expect the Brights to live in their flying city forever. And, although he’s kidnapped, Rex loves the craft filled with robots, scientific discoveries, and silvery-white beings. Before long, Rex will be forced to decide whether to escape, or if Skyclyffe and its secret wonders are worth never stepping foot on Earth again. **ebook is Only .99 cents!!**

It sounds tantalizing! I love the cover too! I can think of some kids who might like a great book… 😉
I think this sounds like a great book to encourage middle school aged kids to read. They need to stretch their imaginations.
I’m glad you like it, Krysti! Maybe they’d like the audiobook version, too—Noah does an amazing job bringing the characters to life.
Thank you, Christy! That is true. I would be thrilled if Skyclyffe helps even just one kid adopt the love of reading.
Z, Actually, the person I'm thinking of might enjoy that. He likes listening to audiobooks.
That’s fantastic, Krysti! The Audible link above will get you to the audiobook version on audiobook.com. It is also on Nook, Google Play, Chirp, and some subscription services. It will be available on Audible and Amazon eventually—they are taking longer than normal to post new books.I’d love to hear what the kid thinks about it!
