The Stone Pilot
(The Edge Chronicles (chronological))
by
High above the Edgeworld, their woodspider-silk sails billowing, great sky ships speed through the air, each with a skilled stone pilot to control the flight-rock that gives the ship its buoyancy. None of these pilots is as skillful as the legendary stone pilot of the sky ship Galerider - but where did this mysterious figure come from and what lies beneath the heavy hood?

I know this was only a quick read but when you have a few minutes to spare and the book you are reading is in another room what are you to do? In my case randomly grab another book and read that instead and low this is the result.
Its part of the Edge Chronicles and as such really acts as a side story to the main events in the chronicles - dont get me wrong the characters are just as important and the events all fit together - but for an 80 page book to act as an introduction for the World Book D ...more

In line with the best Edge Chronicles books, only, too short, but this couldn't be helped. Love the series, even these short snippets.

From the content and imagery, I think the Edge Chronicle series are a marmite type of book. The female protagonist experiences vast amounts of emotional change in a short book. Designed for UKS2. Would be a good book to introduce children to the edge chronicles and the fantasy genre.
Heart-wrenching
Although this book is very short it is one of the best books The Edge Chronicles.
Reading this again has triggered so much nostalgia from when I was younger... The story of Maugin is what I consider the strongest and most poignant out of all the Edge Chronicles. This is especially impressive considering the length of the book, but managing to pack an incredibly emotive and believable character ark within its pages. Termagent trogs, next to Banderbears, are definitely my favourite creatures from the Edge.
This was a decent little excerpt from a children's fantasy novel. A young girl fails to complete a ceremony seeing her into the fantasy version of adulthood, gets sold into slavery and rescued from it again all in a matter of moments, going on to become a stone pilot.
Thus was a £1 giveaway book sold for Book Week one year a while back. It's not the sort of thing if usually pick up but I would definitely read the big book it came from if I came across a copy. ...more

Short but intriguing introduction to the Edge world and one of the (presumably) minor characters. Full of invention and excitement, although Stewart sometimes stuffs the descriptions with a few too many made up names for my liking. Makes me want to read the rest of the series, and I'm sure my kids will love them.

I can't believe that I discovered this little jewel of a book in my cereal box.I love it cause it introduced me to the Edge Chronicles and one of my favourite characters in the series, Maugin. And if you've already read all the books, I definitely recommend this if you want to learn more about the Stone Pilot.

I loved this book and really enjoyed it.
I was doubtful when ten pages before the end Maugin JUST got on the ship and I was interested in how they were going to wrap it up in ten pages!!!!
My favourite character was Maugin a Termagant Trog how never turned termagant.
