Description

When publication day finally arrived, we made a special trip to Waterstones Leeds to see Darkwhispers and purchase additional copies. Registered office address: Unit 34 Vulcan House Business Centre, Vulcan Road, Leicester, Leicestershire, LE5 3EF. It’s the first novel in a fast-paced, middle-grade fantasy series that has some steampunk influence and is about Arthur and Maudie Brightstorm, twins who we quickly learn are orphaned because their father, Ernest, a famous explorer, died on a recent expedition. Brightstorm is a propulsive, vividly imagined fantasy adventure set among vibrant landscapes and peopled with dynamic and unforgettable characters. I adored their relationship, they really completed each other and the way Maudie would jump on anyone who dared come after her brother.

Unable to believe that their father would do such a terrible thing as steal, they decide to do everything they can to investigate further.

There were never any dull moments and not only did I love the idea of the expedition but I also really loved the whole mystery aspect that was added to the story. Their father, blamed with stealing fuel from another airship before his ship crashed, violated the laws of explorers, and therefore, lost everything in his name. Just like us, they look out for each other, care about each other, encourage each other, and even tease each other. The storyline is gripping and the pages just kept turning, and there was a mild panic when I misplaced it on the evening I was going to finish it. Through Harriet’s character the reader is taught that having a fancy title isn’t important, whilst she is officially Captain Harriet Culpepper, she understands the value of others and promotes equality and that everyone has skills that will be needed at different times.

After losing their only living parent, the twins find themselves in dire straits and soon find themselves destitute. At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills. As a parent, I will be forever grateful to Vashti for the beautiful twin relationship she has created in her stories and how she has encouraged my children to celebrate who they are and their special relationship. She's determined to beat Eudora in a second race to the polaris, and Maudie and Arthur are determined to all they can to help, partly for the large cash prize and the thrill of it, but in larger part, especially for Arthur, to find out what really happened to their father.The descriptions of the sky-ship make you feel like you are flying with Harriet and her crew, whether you be staring out from aboard the deck or looking out whilst perched on a wing. For our twins, this book provides a mirror of their own world with a relationship they understand so well. The thrill of taking off in a sky ship; the charm of Felicity Wiggety and her lucky spoon; the mystery of Harriet Culpepper; the danger of quicksand, the freezing South Polaris and terrible villains; and strong family ties leave children asking for one more chapter every time.
