Must the Creator be greater than the Creation?
Taya had always lived in the World. Her companion Kort had always been with her. She accepted these things, and why not? They were her world. But Taya wondered why everything she could see beyond the window was so different from all the things inside. She also wondered why the stars never changed if her world was really moving the way her metal friend Kort said it was…. Could Kort be wrong? That would be very strange, because Kort knew everything, and he was sure they were moving — just as she was sure the stars were not.
Then, one day, the World was born anew….

FLIGHT OF THE FIRE THEIF By Terry Deary
(age: 12+)

Flight of the Fire Thief continues the hilarious fantastical adventures of

to Eden City, arriving in 1795. There he befriends a brave and resourceful
twelve-year-old girl named Nell. Deary skillfully interweaves two plots,
with the action jumping at a whirlwind pace from ramshackle Eden City
to Mount Olympus and the battlefields of the Trojan War.
