Reviews
"A madcap tale with oddball characters, intrigue, and new friendships made. Tyng's prose is appropriately light and action verb-driven. . . ."--The Horn Book

"With plenty of heart and charm, Tyng's fast-paced debut conjures excitement via a high-octane premise that's tempered by laugh-out-loud humor and populated by idiosyncratic characters."--Publishers Weekly

"Tyng surrounds his plucky preteen protagonist with a sturdy and colorful supporting cast, lays out a series of thrilling exploits and dramatic turns as the ten-stage race sails over six continents, and provides both a clever climactic twist and a clear lead-in to sequels at the close. Echoes of Jules Verne and Roald Dahl add even more lift to this soaring debut."--Booklist

"An engrossing and inventive flight through the skies."--Kirkus Reviews
