Airborn by Kenneth Oppel
3.0
There are many delightful things about this tale and I could see a 12 year old becoming quite captivated. The hero is every bit the kind you want to root for, the heroine brave, if a little spoiled and selfish.
From a craft perspective, the overall plot relied too heavily on coincidence to be the engaging and magical adventure it wanted to be. Still, I would recommend it to the boy or girl who enjoys a formal writing style, an adventure, and clean entertainment fraught with danger.
Trigger warning for claustrophobia and situations of near suffocation. PG 13 for some death and violence.
