Second in the series, but standing alone, this is the story of engineer Fever Crumb and her friendship with Arlo, an inventor who is obsessed with the desire to fly. They live in a time and place where change is not appreciated and various political groups want to control inventions for their own devious purposes. Ten to Fourteen.

In a dystopian future where Niall Strong-Arm’s trip to the moon is folklore, Fever and Arlo work to build an airplane and avoid those who will kill them if they are successful. A creative and suspenseful follow-up to Fever Crumb.
