Author – Kenneth Oppel – Airborn and Skybreaker

Posted by Laura on December 19, 2007

Are you ready to read adventure stories set mainly in the air? Sky pirates, strange new animals, danger, excitement, and …? Try these two books but read Airborn first. There is a hilarious scene with a snake, but I can’t remember which book it was in. I laughed loud and long. He writes the scene so well that I can still see it in my mind.

Airborn Matt, a young cabin boy aboard an airship, and Kate, a wealthy young girl traveling with her chaperone, team up to search for the existence of mysterious winged creatures reportedly living hundreds of feet above the Earth’s surface.

Skybreaker Matt Cruse, a student at the Airship Academy, and Kate de Vries, a young heiress, team up with a gypsy and a daring captain, to find a long-lost airship, rumored to carry a treasure beyond imagination.
