The boy begins receiving letters from an uncle or some sort in this flying machine and then eventually goes off and has a bunch of adventures with this flying machine. There's also blue-skinned assassins, a rebellion with butterfly tattoos, and two - or three - volcanoes (one is a female(?) and has two lakes for eye).The author is a female, and I think she is also popular for another series (for some reason, I keep on thinking about Cressida Cowell?)Any help would be greatly appreciate
