I love it when stories have traditional elements but add a twist at the end. Piper is a scraper living a hand to mouth existence in outpost 16. Good with machinery her luck begins to change when she rescues a girl in a meteor storm. What follows is an adventurous tale of dueling interest and friendship.
I listened to this on audiobook, and it was awesome!
Reading this book gave me a heavy sense of deja vu which means I have either read the book before and don't remember or it was very similar to something else I had read. Either way, not one of my favorites.
Lags in the middle, but good overall. The characters read much older than their stated ages - Gee is definitely not 13. But there's action, adventure, revelation, and steampunk. What more do you want?

By far one of my favorite reads this year!
Piper is a young scrapper living in a poor town miles away from civilization. She and the rest of the townspeople make a living by scavenging treasures and trinket that fall from the sky during the strange meteor showers that rain down periodically. She has a rare gift for fixing machines and other mechanical bits that she finds. One day, the meteor shower brings a strange visitor who changes the course of her life. A caravan is destroyed when a meteor strikes it. A girl is the only one left alive, or so it seems. She remembers nothing about how she got there or even who she is. One thing is for sure, though, she is valuable to someone. She bears the mark of the Dragonfly, a tattoo that means she is under the protection of King Aron, himself. If Piper can get the girl back to him, it will mean a reward that could change her life forever. The girls journey will reveal much more than either of them are expecting and the people who come into their lives will bring danger, magic and, perhaps, a home.
