  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. A short mythic fable about grit, grease, and the impossible. 
   
  Nobody sees Jo leave. One moment the farm is asleep; the next, the barn roof rolls open and a hand-built iron ship blasts its way into the sky. 
  A woman from Nebraska—quiet, stubborn, with a samurai’s bloodline—has spent long nights with a sledgehammer and a welding torch in her barn. Now she flies the ship past the moon, through gravity wells and solar gales, and into the blazing fury of a star that roars in her mind and forbids her to come closer. With a church bell welded to a railroad chain and a hymn her grandmother sang in Japan, she dares anyway.

  A boy carries dispatches for the American army in Mexico in 1847, through Vera Cruz, Cerro Gordo and the gates of the capital. William O. Stoddard had been Lincoln's assistant secretary and wrote boys' fiction from documents; the campaign here is accurate to the day. The Mexican side is given more room than in most American books of its date, and the ending is not triumphant. Fifty-one plates of painting, among them Remington and Homer, carry the campaign's look from campfire and trapper's camp to flight and the drawing of the black bean.
