Riding the Wind
In the steam-powered world of 1895, eleven-year-old Lucas Larch discovers that the most extraordinary inventions often begin with the most ordinary questions. When a simple visit to his father's airship parts factory sparks an impossible idea, Lucas embarks on a journey that will challenge everything people believe about transportation.
Armed with nothing but curiosity, determination, and the enthusiastic help of two eccentric automatons named Temp and Greasy, Lucas transforms discarded factory rejects into something the world has never seen before. But when his revolutionary creation catches the attention of powerful industrialists and threatens to reshape entire industries, Lucas must learn that innovation requires more than just brilliant engineering-it demands the courage to defend your dreams against those who would steal or destroy them.
From workshop experiments to high-stakes demonstrations, from devastating failures to triumphant breakthroughs, Riding the Wind is a tale of friendship forged in the fires of creation, of the eternal struggle between progress and power, and of a young inventor who discovers that the greatest adventures begin when ordinary people choose to attempt extraordinary things.
In a world where the impossible is just another engineering challenge waiting to be solved, sometimes all you need is the wind beneath your wings.
