Thank You and Happy Flying: Book 2 (Lin of Luratia) (Volume 2) Melanie Pahlmann 1st edition

380 light years from Earth, near the double star Albereo, is a star which is the sun of a peopled planet known as Luratia.

LURATIA is a magenta planet of clouds and lightning, a fast-growing world of holographic smart phones, space elevators, and gadgets powered by electricity harvested in outer space and captured from the air.

HOLOPHONES are a triumph of nanotechnology, built with the wonder material known on Earth as graphene, a powerful superconductor 200 times stronger than steel and many times lighter. Holophones are lightweight, indestructible, and capable of simulated flight. With a simple command you can fly anywhere: over land, through a city, across an ocean, up into the clouds, out into space.

LIN di ANA is a progress-loving girl who lives in the backward fishing village of Bree, where mail is still delivered by carrier birds and fish. When Lin wages a victorious fight against the technology-depriving Committee of Technology, all of Bree is outfitted with holophones. Lin is certain that life for everyone will improve, but progress can be messy, and Lin is about to find out why.
