Plot summary

On a cloudy night, brave Pazu, an engineer's apprentice with a heart of gold, discovers Sheeta, the mysterious girl who fell from the sky. Not knowing what to expect, the boy approaches her, drawn by the iridescent, almost mystical light emanating from Sheeta's necklace. But the same gem has already caught unwanted attention. Now, with dangerous sky pirates and the unstoppable agents of a shadowy organisation hot on their trail, Sheeta and Pazu embark on a challenging quest to decipher the meaning of the intriguing crystal amulet. Legend has it that Laputa was a mythical flying island. After all, Pazu's father was confident that he had seen it. Will the young allies unravel the pendant's puzzling secret and the myth of the floating castle in the sky?—Nick Riganas
