It actually comes out in January 2008, not September (that'd be such a wait!). I think they may have to translate it, but it should be available in English. Though, maybe not a lot of people know English, and they want to translate it into the local language? I don't know.
If you want it when it comes out, your best bet is eBay or Amazon.
Ei. Arigato! Yes they translate it, Usually, the Chinese or the Japanese does all the translating... |

"In the 1890s, Conor Broekhart is a boy living on the Saltee Islands off the Irish coast, where his father works as the king's bodyguard. But his happy, carefree life is changed forever when he finds out that the power-hungry Marshall Hugo Bonvilian is organizing a military coup to overthrow the king. When Conor is unable to stop Bonvilian, the king is murdered, and Conor is falesly accused of the crime and thrown into prison. In prison, the boy passes the solitary months by scratching designs for flying machines onto the walls. After two years, Conor is finally able to build a glider, and executes a daring escape to the mainland."
... how is this boy in prison able to find the parts and the room to build a flying machine. And if this is the prison I'm thinking of then how is it that he is able to get the flying maching into open air and have enough room to get enough speed to take off?

I've done some complex calculations, and, it turns out that your mind is so narrow that it could through these two dots ':'.
Firstly, take into account the "two years," part. Secondly, look at the "glider," part. Think how easy it is to make a piece of paper glide... just fold it into a plane. He has developed a glider to get off of the island. He builds the machine later on in the book.

Do we know the Aussie release date? Or will I feel very left out of discussions for a few months because I never buy things online? That would be extremely depressing, if it's true. ... Stuff it, I'll just buy it online anyway. I really need it.  |

Erm... yeah, I think so, it's not awfully hard to follow the story, there's a lot of detail and some big words though... XD
