Book Reviews of Edge of the Cloud (Oxford Children's Modern Classics)
Book Review: Great Book for Readers of Any Age
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm one of the people who stumbled across the book after watching the the mini-series on PBS way back in the early 80's as a child. Like the other reviewer states, this book works best when read in the order of the trilogy, Flambards, The Edge of the Cloud, Flambards in Summer, and for a finale Flambards Divided. It tells the story of a young girl, Christina, in the years directly leading up to the First World War. Aviation was still in its infancy, and plays a major part in this installment of K.M. Peyton's trilogy as it centers around Christina and her fiance/ cousin William.
The book is really more of a coming of age story than its predessor, Flambards. Flambards pretty much covered the gamut of childhood and the threshold of young adulthood, this story actually has the characters dealing with real world adult issues of being more or less on their own for the first time.
It's a great book, a wonderful series, and I highly recommend this to readers of any age.
Summary of Edge of the Cloud (Oxford Children's Modern Classics)
Christina and Will have escaped Flambards for London with their heads full of dreams, only to find a whole new set of problems. Not only the basic ones of work and a place to live, but Will's single-minded ambition to design and pilot flying machines, which terrify Christina every time he leaves the ground. Will is certain he can become a success, but what price is he willing to pay for the glory? A Carnegie Medal winner in 1969, this novel is now reissued in a smaller format mass-market paperback.Literature & Fiction Books
