Welcome to Stig's Flight of Encounters, a young adult fantasy novel written by Stephan von Clinkerhoffen. Chelldrah-ham, a city of riches that Stig calls home, doesn’t realize it’s in danger, until the young man takes his clockwork plane out for a test run and gives it a bit too much spin, taking him into the path of a wooden pod. Stig crash-lands in a faraway place and attempts to head back home. That’s when he first faces down the strange bat-like creatures who threaten his land and others, as well as various other creatures who stand in his way of returning to Chelldrah-ham. Lucky for Stig he meets up with Meg, who shows him how to take advantage of the nature that surrounds him. He’s also got his clockwork skills, but soon everything will be put to the test. Wind up your sense of adventure and take it for a flight.
