Opis

"The next installment of a steampunk adventure appropriate for ages 12 and up."

Is Luck a Miracle or a Curse?

Luck alone has kept Sam undiscovered so far. She dreads the moment the crew learns their miracle and curse have a human face, but it is Nat's reaction she fears the most. When her Natural talents are revealed, all the ways she has used her far-from-human abilities to keep the engine running may count for nothing.

Obsessed with the steamship's engine, Nat's new position as the engineer's apprentice is a dream come true even when a fierce storm tests the limits of his new skills. He basks in the praise of the engineer and crew once they're safe again, but their cheers soon turn to curses when Nat realizes the nearest island on the charts is nothing but a sandbar. With food and water running low, how is he going to keep Sam fed?
