Airborn by Kenneth Oppel ****

This is about a series of adventures of Matt Cruse, cabin boy aboard the airship Aurora. The ship rescues a hot air balloon in distress and the pilot tells Matt about beautiful creatures in the air. It's when he meet's the pilot's granddaughter, Kate de Vries, he realizes that the creatures might be real. 

I like this book because of the adventurousness of the story.

I recommend this book for ages 10+.
