AIRBORN

AIRBORN by Kenneth Oppel

Airborn is a super, fun read if you are into pirates, adventure, and a little bit of fantasy all set on an airship.

Matt Cruise is a cabin boy on the beautiful airship, The Aurora. A luxury liner catering to the wealthy, The Aurora has become his life ever since the death of his father. Life is full of movement and predictable until two events occur. The first is the rescue of a balloonist whose dying words are about a race of beautiful winged creatures that he's discovered. The second is the surprise attack by the dreaded pirate, Szpriglas, that sends the giant airship crashing onto a deserted island. But is it really deserted? This fun adventure book is full of action that will hook you in and not let go until the last page!

HEADS UP- There are 3-4 profanities (no f bombs). There is 1 time where one of the pirates mumbles, "Who the feck are they?" There are fights and there is death, but nothing gory.
