description: This one is Jules Verne meets Miyazaki. Its the space race in 1869 in a kind of alternate past.  When you see the book itself its this big oversized object with this incredible watercolor comics style and its this really big epic sweeping story of a boy following in his mothers discovery and then opening up the solar system but in the age of the 1800s. Its got a kind of steampunk but also a kind of young classic childrens story feel to it.
