Young Will and his friends are determined to defend the valley from the Freebooters, a band of ruthless Army renegades pillaging and burning their way north.
Will discovers his uncle’s last great invention, an airship styled after a Mississippi riverboat, and he hopes to escape with Laura.

    5.0 out of 5 stars delightful coming of age tale
    Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2022

    Ship from Wolfskill is an engaging tale of dreams and the paths one takes to realize them. It is also a tale of friendship, courage, and growing up. The author has researched steam powered airships and weaves those details into the plot and story line without inundating the reader with knowledge. This is a well-written story about youngsters making a difference, working together to overcome difficult obstacles and growing up.

    I love the steampunk elements and the historical references as the young people learn the hardships of war without losing their innocence. Not only is the story appropriate for young people, it is engaging and entertaining for adults. It ha a satisfying end yet leaves an opening for the next book. This is one of those stories that sticks in the reader's heart and grows more endearing with time. I'm looking forward to the next two books in the trilogy!

    Warning! This review contains spoilers!

    The Ship from Wolfskill by George Beckman is a historical fiction, steampunk-esque western tale told from the gentle, naive perspective of Will, a young man who dreams of flying. A fanciful story that floats its characters from childhood to adulthood in that turbulent sea called adolescence, this YA novel is sure to capture the imagination of any youngster who wishes they could join the clouds.

    Unsettled from their simple lives by the Freebooters - inexplicable ne’er-do-wells who have sprung up to threaten the western landscape - friends Will, Jose, and Finn band together when their village is attacked. Discovering Will’s late uncles’ amazing airship in the Levitrite (mysterious floating ore) mines, they work together to keep their families safe at Wolfskill Lodge while their fathers go to fight the Freebooters. With the women and children safely at the Lodge, the friends turn their attention to mastering their ship, the Cloud Queen, with the intention of helping their fathers with the Freebooter situation. Joined by Will’s childhood sweetheart, Laura, the young men begin gaining the skills to fight back. As they encounter Freebooters, they learn to take care of themselves, their ship, and each other.

    Beckman brings the Cloud Queen to life with glowing descriptions and child-like wonder. He has a way of capturing young love that is both wholesome and honest. It’s Jose, however, that stands out like a gem to me. I sincerely enjoyed his take-charge attitude and the fact that this bilingual young man really seems to be the “hero” our main character, Will, wants to be.

    Overall, the Ship from Wolfskill was an enjoyable read with lots of action and endearing characters. YA readers and western fans won’t be disappointed!
