Toutefois la chance leur sourit à nouveau lorsqu'ils découvrent qu'une exploratrice embauche du personnel pour sa prochaine expédition.

Le résultat est à la hauteur des espérances - ça m'a presque fait penser à la série d'Alex Bell ( Le Club de l'Ours Polaire). I do think that the mystery could’ve been more, y’know, ~mysterious~, as it was kinda obvious all the way through… but oh well *shrugs* It didn’t really affect my enjoyment in the long run. I read about her in the Lontown Chronicle – the youngest explorer to captain a sky-ship to the Second Continent. Arthur was born without his right arm, and though this is a hindrance in some respects, and though he's sick of people's reactions, it's not a handicap that defines him in anyway, which I also appreciated.I was at my last school for 4 years and we had ********* book fairs every term – and every term, I was disappointed by the narrow range of books. Due to societal norms, most of the time the boy is the intellectual, engineer one and the girl is the more dreamy, book nerd. Twins Arthur and Maudie receive word in Lontown that their famous explorer father died in a failed attempt to reach South Polaris. En bref, un roman jeunesse dans un univers plaisant avec deux jeunes héros attachants et des aventures qui s’enchaînent. An even more final appreciation--Harriet's airship has a great onboard library which both twins love.

He's considered guilty of failing to render aid to his chief competitor in his quest for the polaris, the powerful Eudora Vine. As members of Twins Trust (a national charity supporting parents of twins, triplets and more), we wanted to share our Brightstorm experience with other twin families in the hopes that they would find as much joy and meaning in the books as we had. As the winged ship Aurora sets sail, the twins must keep their wits about them and prove themselves worthy of the rest of the crew. Brightstorm is a wonderfully paced, absorbing read that delivers a special feeling of adventure reserved for stories that you just cannot put down. I promise to only link only products I believe you will love and are related to books, writing, or general geekery.I would have liked to see Hardy trust her readers a little more instead of her being very pointed in the lessons, but it wasn't so bad that I wanted to quit reading.

Bronnie is so lovely with the boys and we also felt that having a man enthusing about the books set a great example. This intriguing book by Vashti Hardy engages with the reader and keeps you hooked whilst taking you on an amazing adventure.

What they’ve been told about their father doesn’t make sense and they are determined to discover the truth and clear their family name.
