Airborn, by Kenneth Oppel

Airborn, by Kenneth Oppel, is a story of a young man named Matt Cruse, who works as a look out for The Aurora, an airship that is lighter than air and is filled with passengers. What makes it float is an imaginary element gas called hydrim. This book is filled with action, mystery, pirates, love, danger, and a lot of imagination. An undocumented air balloon is found, the conductor is nowhere to be found, and a journal is found with drawings and documentation of animals that don’t exist, or do they?
I like this book because of its imaginary content, and creativeness. One of my 8th grade teachers recommended it to me, and now I am recommending it to you.
