“The Shipyards of Sing,” by Dan Cuthbert, is a fantasy eco-adventure where the main character, young artist Pennon Darter, has just turned 16 and is looking forward to the day he gets his first airship.  But, as his birthday approaches, he begins having weird dreams and sleep-drawing pictures. Increasingly worried about his missing mother, Pennon feels propelled towards a quest but doesn’t quite understand why.

Pennon and his best friend, young poet Rayjon Sylvan, move forward into what will become the adventure of their lives. Together, they learn more about the secrets of their world, Awe-Terra-Firma, the Natural Laws that govern it, and the opposing forces necessary to maintain balance than was ever covered in their school textbooks.

I could not put this story down!  What a fantastical escape to a truly other world, but there is still much humanity. More, more, more from this author, please!

This book was an excellent imaginary tale with so much excitement! Very well written and worth reading. I hope that there is another tale by this author.
