About Skyfleet: March of the Mutabugs

Award-winning Scottish author Victoria Williamson is back with this retro-futuristic middle-grade fantasy adventure, chock full of action, danger, determination and menacing mutant insects.

Twelve-year-old Amberley has faced incredible challenges since the crash that took her parents and paralysed her legs. Now, with her best friend Ricardo about to be sent away and a swarm of mutated insects closing in on the Skyfleet base, the stakes have never been higher. Something monstrous is driving the mutabugs north from the contaminated meteor site known as the Cauldron, and the only plane capable of stopping it – the Firehawk – lies in pieces in the hangar.

Determined to honour her parents’ legacy, Amberley hatches a daring plan. With Ricardo’s help, they stow away on a supply train, trading his most treasured possession for the parts needed to repair the Firehawk. After secret test flights, the legendary jet is ready for action. Now, Amberley and Ricardo must confront the deadly swarm and save their home, discovering their inner strength and the true meaning of friendship along the way.
