Know a reluctant reader? One that doesn’t like to read. My best guess is, “the books are too hard.” No one likes to struggle. If a reader is missing one word on a page, the book may be too hard.
In this series, the reading level is easy while the adventure is exciting—and a dream come true. Many kids, especially boys, have flying dreams. Floating above the earth. Will in this series had those dreams, and now he is captain of an airship that floats. Not with balloons but with a mysterious rock that repels gravity when charged with electricity.
The Ship from Wolfskill is the first book in the Wolfskill trilogy. In the early 1890s, Freebooters are burning and pillaging towns to the south. As they draw closer to young Will’s valley, he dreams of escaping with Laura.
When he discovers his Uncle’s flying airship, styled after a Mississippi riverboat, he and his friends take the battle to the Freebooters. Men from the town are captured, and the race to free them begins.
If you ever dreamed of flying—floating above the world—come dream with Will. A flying steamboat will become part of your dreams.
