The 1st book in the suspenseful series has been known to change children in a way you can't imagine. But are the myth's true, or not?

My favorite character was Maudy as she is very smart and good at engineering. I would recommend this book. It was very exciting and I liked how it was about explorers and I love the world it is set in it is so cool. I hate the character edora vane. The plot was very good with it's twists and turns.

I loved Brightsaurus. I would have given it 1000 star because it was so good and here is some of my favourite parts. I loved it when their dad died because I like some drama and when they barged into someone else’s achievement and said that their dad got there first, and got the prize Money but he couldn’t get the money because he was dead so his children got to half the money, because they’re twins

Brightstorm a sky ship adventure is an amazing book! I honestly was not expecting it to be this good when I first got it but it was incredible! It’s about twin siblings, Arthur and Maudie Brightstorm who’s father, an explorer has died on a failed attempt to reach south Polaris. They stay to live their housekeeper, Mistress Poacher, but she has absolutely no interest in the twins and simply sells them to Mr and Mrs Beggins, poor people who treat the twins very badly and make them servants! The children live in the slumps (slums) until one day they find an advert for a race to claim South Polaris for the 2nd time. They decide to join Miss Harriet Culpepper, who is also an explorer just like their father, and her team (which includes Felicity Wiggety) on a race to South Polaris. Many exciting things happen to the crew of the Aurora sky ship as they journey deep into the unknown. Will the Aurora team reach South Polaris first? Or will they be beaten to it by Madame Eudora Vane on board her sky ship Victorious? Read the book to find out! This book is the best book I’ve ever read and I definitely recommend it! I think anyone 9+ would enjoy this book very much! It is so good! I will definitely be reading the sequel too as this is my new favourite book! ~ Safe travels fellow Explorers! ~

In this book there are 2 twins called Arthur and Maudie Brightstorm. Their father was a famous explorer whose goal was to reach the South Polaris. Arthur and Maudie complete that goal for him.

Great adventure book. I really like the idea of the Thought Wolves because they can communicate in peoples minds. The book had a good couple of twists in it.

Amazing. This book had so many emotions and the fact that the children aunt tried to kill them for money was astonishing.

This is one of my favourite books. I like 4 characters of it who are - Maudi for all caring and engineering colities, Harriet for being fast and clever, Arruther for all hard thinking he does and Felicity for her luck spoon which is very funny!!! I recommend it to anyone who likes adventures and specially in sky-ships.
Countess Tuesday Teabag 09.08.2022

The book was spine-chilling and there were mysterious elements that made me think hard. My favourite fictional character was Maudie Brightstorm. I would recommend this book.
