An Ill Wind — Regina Puckett

A quick trip up the east coast quickly turns into a life and death experience for Harmony when hurricane-force winds plunges her airship into the ocean. When Airus drifts upon a tiny island, she is faced with a deflated balloon, two broken robots, a damaged friction engine and the fear of running out of fresh water. This might be enough to discourage the bravest heart, but Harmony is determined to stay alive. She simply refuses to believe she'll never see her family or Griffin again.
