My grandson really loves to read this is his favorite Author. He finished Harry Potter and was looking for a new series. So I bought the whole set. He is 10. And was very excited about getting them.

This is a good book. My son read it when he was in the third grade, and it's so hard to find something for kids of that age. Too often, eight year olds have to endure Magic Treehouse or suffer the stupidity of Goosebumps. My son's not into zombie and ghost stories, he hates them. He likes zeppelins and robots, and this book has all that and more. There's a bit of alternate history here, which is cool. My son blazed through this book quickly and is now onto the sequel.

Awesome book for kids quick shipment! I bought this for my son for his book club and he got the author to sign it! Thank you!!

Alan Gratz excellent author. Grandson very happy to receive this gift. I will buy him the next book in the series when published.

The great beginning of the League of Seven. You don't have to start here as I read the 2nd one first!

My 10 yr old daughter loved it! She just got to meet Alan at a book signing too!!!

My 8 year old loved it

Anything this author writes is great for the student in Grade 5/6.

Well, this is a brass book... Actually the slang is a bit irritating at first, but it is worth bearing out our young hero's failures in the first few chapters.
