"Mr. Cruse, how high would you like to fly?"
A smile soared across my face.
"As high as I possibly can."
Pilot-in-training Matt Cruse and Kate de Vries, expert on high-altitude life-forms, are invited aboard the Starclimber, a vessel that literally climbs its way into the cosmos. Before they even set foot aboard the ship, catastrophe strikes:
Kate announces she is engaged—and not to Matt.
Despite this bombshell, Matt and Kate embark on their journey into space, but soon the ship is surrounded by strange and unsettling life-forms, and the crew is forced to combat devastating mechanical failure. For Matt, Kate, and the entire crew of the Starclimber, what began as an exciting race to the stars has now turned into a battle to save their lives.
Award-winning and bestselling author Kenneth Oppel brings us back to a rich world of flight and fantasy in this breathtaking new sequel to Airborn and Skybreaker.

reviewed Starclimber on June 21, 2010 Starclimber
One reason I love this series is because it's good clean fun and a traditional adventure. It's nonstop thrilling action. It doesn't fall prey to modern fantasy trends such as all-consuming romance, vampires, werewolves, and fictional boarding schools. This series finds its roots in Jules Verne, but is still really fun and accessible for people of any age or gender.
Each book is its own little adventure and doesn't rely on cliffhangers to guarantee readers will pick up the next one. Oppel has faith that his fun characters will draw readers into the next one. I would be lying if I said this book had any more substance than a good summer blockbuster. Nothing about it is deep, but it doesn't need to be.
This series can appeal to anyone. It has humor (a monkey peeing in a stuffy guy's soup is pretty funny no matter how mature you are), edge-of-your-seat action and adventure, breath-taking scenery and fantastical creatures, and even some romance.
I really just wish more people knew about this series, because it really is an unassuming gem.
