Starclimber  Cover Image Book Book

Starclimber / Kenneth Oppel.

Summary:

Matt Cruse's summer is looking promising - he's landed a position piloting an aerocrane, helping to build Paris's Celestial Tower, an extraordinary gateway to outer space. And he can spend his nights stargazing with Kate de Vries. But when Matt narrowly survives an attack on the job by the fanatical Babelites, who are opposed to humans reaching the heavens, and Kate is summoned back to Lionsgate City by her parents, it seems like his idyllic summer is ruined. Then the chance of a lifetime boosts Matt's hopes of being airborne once more. If he can pass the gruelling tests, he could become one of the world's first astralnauts on board Canada's incredible ship Starclimber. Can Matt outlast the competition? And if he is chosen to join the crew, will they ever return to Earth?
