This book imagines a different World War I waged between the German's Clankers (steam driven iron machines) and the British Darwinist's fabricated animals. The Leviathan is a whale airship, the most masterful beast in the British fleet. Aleksandar Ferdinand is the prince of the Austro-Hungarian empire on the run from his own people. All he has are a Stormwalker and a crew of loyal men. Deryn Sharp is a commoner, a girl disguised as a boy in the British Air Service. She is constantly afraid of being discovered. Their paths cross in the most unexpected way taking them aboard the Leviathan for a fantastical, around-the-world journey that will change their lives forever.What SL teens are saying about the book...
