One of my earliest profound reading experiences, Airborn was handed to me when I was in elementary school and I devoured it. Upon seeing the cover once more at my bookselling job, I was instantly transported back to the world of the story. The gas-powered airships, the airborne piracy, the strange, mystical creatures and the tantalizing mystery behind them... this book had it all for 8-year-old eveningreverie. And, according to many other contemporary readers, it still holds up remarkably well.
