If you’ve ever wished you could fly, then I strongly recommend you read ‘Air Born’.” Read the full review here, by WJ Scott, Award Winning Children’s Author #review #GenerationIcarus #AirBorn

    NZ Booklovers Review 'Air Born'

    The first online review for Air Born, featured on the NZ Booklovers website. "Air Born is the first in a new young adult series, Generation Icarus, which is perfectly pitched to its target audience with compelling characters, a fantastic page-turning plot and taut, well-paced writing. It is action-adventure from start to finish, and a very enjoyable read. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this series as they publish." - Karen McKenzie #AirBorn #Generati
