Book of
the Week
|
Airborn by Kenneth
Oppel
Matt Cruse is a cabin
boy aboard the luxury passenger airship
Aurora when the ship encounters a battered
hot air balloon with an unconscious man
aboard. Before dying, the man claims to
have seen beautiful creatures swarming in
the air over an uncharted island. Not
until a year later, when Matt meets the
man's granddaughter, Kate de Vries, who
boards the Aurora, does he learn that the
man wasn't hallucinating. Pirates board,
rob, and kill, and a fierce storm grounds
the Aurora on the very island that Kate's
grandfather spoke about--which proves to
be the pirates' secret hideaway. Can they
escape in time to stop the brigands from
stealing the Aurora? Will Kate prove the
existence of the undiscovered species she
calls "cloud cats"?
The "Book of the Week"
is available for checkout at the library
circulation desk.
