Harriet (Harry) Edgbaston is a proper Victorian young lady who happens to go flitting about East Africa in an ornothopter with her sister Khuwelsa (Sellie). Harry loves piloting the Iron Pegasus, while Sellie shovels coal into the boiler and handles the pesky engineering details.
When a trip to visit Lieutenant Schmidt of the German Army embroils Harry and Sellie in the start of a war, they must find a way to escape and reach Zanzibar to warn their father. But if they do escape, what proof do they have? Who will take the word of two teenage girls and what will their father really be able to do if they do make it to him in time?
Listen to the interview of Steve Turnbull and learn more about him, his writing and the interesting characters and world of Harry Takes Off, the first book in the Iron Pegasus series.
