Review: Airborn

Airborn by Kenneth Oppel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story takes you to a time and place where airships rule the sky. Matt is the cabin boy on the Aurora, a ship his father had also served on. He rescues a balloonist who babbles about flying creatures. This sets up the primary adventure in our story. Along the way Matt enlists the help of Kate, a rich passenger, and Bruce the son of the air company's owner to save the Aurora.

This is an engaging, fast adventure story set in a world like ours, yet not ours. It appears this is the first in a series. I hope so!
