"Maria Dahvana Headley is a firecracker: she's whip smart with a heart, and she writes like a dream." -Neil Gaiman, bestselling author of The Graveyard Book and Coraline
#1 New York Times bestseller Maria Dahvana Headley's soaring sky fantasy Magonia is now in paperback!
Aza Ray Boyle is drowning in thin air. Since she was a baby, Aza has suffered from a mysterious lung disease that makes it ever harder for her to breathe, to speak-to live.
So when Aza catches a glimpse of a ship in the sky, her family chalks it up to a cruel side effect of her medication. But Aza doesn't think this is a hallucination. She can hear someone on the ship calling her name.
Only her best friend, Jason, listens. Jason, who's always been there. Jason, for whom she might have more-than-friendly feelings. But before Aza can consider that thrilling idea, something goes terribly wrong. Aza is lost to our world-and found, by another. Magonia.
Above the clouds, in a land of trading ships, Aza is not the weak and dying thing she was. In Magonia, she can breathe for the first time. Better, she has immense power-but as she navigates her new life, she discovers that war between Magonia and Earth is coming. In Aza's hands lies fate of the whole of humanity-including the boy who loves her. Where do her loyalties lie?
Neil Gaiman's Stardust meets John Green's The Fault in Our Stars in this New York Times bestselling story about a girl caught between two worlds, two races, and two destinies.
Don't miss Aerie, the stunning, highly anticipated sequel!
