Jason Sheehan is an award-winning freelance journalist and author. In addition to being a book and video game critic for NPR, he has published three books for adults. This is his first book for young readers.
“Sheehan crafts a richly detailed world and uses multiple points of
view to relate the narrative, keeping the characters central to the
high-stakes plot. Following in the tradition of Kenneth Oppel’s
Airborn and Philip Reeve’s Fever Crumb, this fantasy, full of
lessons about close friendships and the power of fighting for
what’s right, will hook readers seeking adventure.” –Booklist
“An arch, omniscient narrative—by turns brutal and sweet—unspools
into an ambitious, wide-ranging story of survival and loyalty.”
–Publishers Weekly
"Perfect for anyone who loves action and mystery and cliffhanger
endings.” –SLC
“Richly imagined and emotionally resonant, Children of the Flying
City is a fantasy for young and old alike. At times evoking the
starkness of Cormac McCarthy and the dark, humanistic fantasy of
Stephen King, Sheehan will make your imagination soar, tear your
heart back to the ground, dust you off, then send you back to the
sky with a grin on your face. This book gave my heart wings.”
–Pierce Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Red
Rising
“Children of the Flying City feels, at once, timeless and
wondrously, gloriously new. Jason Sheehan has crafted the bones of
a great story, the prickling flesh of unforgettable characters, the
gasp of gorgeous language, and he's tucked a velvety,
multi-chambered secret at the book's center.”
–Katie Williams, author of Tell the Machine Goodnight
