Books in Castle In The Sky series

A legend of the days of the first flying machines, where fantastic adventure takes to the air! Pirates greedy for treasure and secret agents hungry for power are both chasing Sheeta, a young girl who wears a mysterious blue stone around her neck. The stone's power makes Sheeta defy gravity and float down into the life of Pazu, a tough young orphan boy inventor. Soon Pazu and Sheeta are caught up together--way up, into the clouds, where somewhere awaits Laputa, a floating city built by a lost race of people. What ancient secrets link Sheeta's stone to the incredible dangers and mysteries of the Castle In The Sky?

Pazu and Sheeta have joined Dola's crew! Helping out in the crow's nest, the engine room, and even the kitchen of the pirate airship Tiger Moth, Sheeta calls upon her childhood memories to plot a course towards Laputa, the legendary floating Castle In The Sky. But they're in a dangerous race with the giant armored zeppelin Goliath, where Muska still has Sheeta's pendant--working as a navigational beacon pointing straight for the Castle! When the two ships cross paths, the evening clouds light up with battle--and Pazu and Sheeta, scouting in a glider, are blown free. The prize everyone is searching for is now very near...but will both sides destroy each other before they can set foot on Laputa?

The legends were true! Somewhere high in the clouds, human beings have again set foot on the floating island of Laputa, for centuries a peaceful, park-like ruin, tended only by its silent, faithful robots. But just behind Pazu and Sheeta are soldiers from the aerial dreadnought Goliath--who have captured Dola and her pirate crew, and are now looting the gold and jewels of the Castle In The Skyfor themselves! But the man who guided them there, Muska, has his eyes on power, not money--and he alone knows how to activate the Castle's ancient superweapons that could make him master of the world! Can Pazu and Sheeta stop his sinister plan?
