"In a land of great riches, with inhabitants who live to be centuries old, lives a boy, Stig. He is quite good at inventing tools and gadgets with the use of clockwork mechanisms. One fateful day though, his inventive tinkering leads him to a life-altering discovery. While taking a test-run in his new flying machine, he experiences a crash-landing. His accident, however, may prove to be a blessing in disguise as he soon learns his beloved city of Chelldrah-ham is in danger. But returning home to forewarn the people of Chelldrah-ham proves to be a challenge far greater than he could ever have imagined. Stig becomes embroiled in a sequence of riveting events all of which make for an engaging series of fantasy fiction for young readers"

"Stig’s Flight of Encounters, by Stephan von Clinkerhoffen, is a delightful and whimsical fantasy about adventure and doing the right thing in difficult situations. It was a pleasure to read and to experience the journey of a young boy into a fantasy world."--International Writers Inspiring Change (5 stars)

“Clinkerhoffen's attention to describing the sights, sounds, smells and forces of this world is what brings it to life…Readers aren't just fed a plot: they are embedded into Stig's world…compelling story that is hard to put down, action-packed, and thought-provoking…highly recommended for young adults.”
