Skyship Academy: The Pearl Wars

Skyship Academy: The Pearl Wars plunges readers into a thrilling, dystopian future set in 2095, where Earth is ravaged by chemical bombings and divided into two factions: the airborne Skyshippers and the surface-dwelling United Party. Both societies depend on 'Pearls,' fragments of space debris, for energy. The story follows Jesse Fisher, a 15-year-old Skyshipper who unexpectedly discovers he possesses the power to control these Pearls, making him a valuable target for both sides. Hunted by government forces and a mysterious rival, Jesse embarks on a fast-paced adventure that reveals his hidden past as an orphan from a bombed city and ultimately, his alien heritage and connection to the very conflict tearing Earth apart. Told from dual perspectives, this book is a compelling series starter for middle grade readers who enjoy action-packed science fiction with themes of identity, loyalty, and societal conflict.

In 2095 when a fifteen-year-old slacker discovers that he has the power to control Pearls, fragments of space debris that are a dying Earth's most important energy source, government forces work to capture him.
