Publisher's Synopsis
Nathanael Swift, boy-captain of the Star Skimmer, imagines his way out of everything. Whether it's sailing to the moon, escaping dragons, or fighting pirates, Swift's plans are like magic. But experiences of the past accumulate in the future. When Swift discovers Barnaby hiding on his ship, he thinks he's found a companion for his adventures. Yet Barnaby hides a secret - a secret about a desperate gamble to finally do something right ... and escape a horrible curse. As the boys work together to battle monsters and explore the clouds, Swift's imagination seems capable of anything. But it'll take heart to rescue Barnaby from his past - if lies don't divide the boys first. Reminiscent of Peter Pan, this collection of stories, with its illustrations and music, will delight young readers with its adventure and imagination.
