Behind the Book
The CLOUDSCAPE fantasy adventure series was created out of my imagination as I flew from New York to California for a college reunion. I was looking out the window and observing the clouds, when I suddenly thought of people living there and how they would survive. I took out pen and paper and started writing down my thoughts. It was very exciting how quickly the ideas came to me. I hope you enjoy reading about a whole new world!! You may never look at clouds the same again. (JNC)
Reviews
“In Courtney’s debut middle-grade book, an ordinary boy visits a wonderful world where international refugees live among the clouds. … a lighthearted adventure [that] offers rudimentary atmospheric science bolstered by fantastical sensory flourishes.” (Kirkus Reviews)
