A review by cindyjac
Airborn by Kenneth Oppel

5.0

This was just a fantastic read: great characters, imagery, action, setting...I raced through it and will order the next in the series. Kenneth Oppel has created a fictional past that feels so believable. I love his made up "cloud cats" because they aren't sweet, gentle creatures-again, you can imagine them evolving somewhere in the world. Why not large, flying mammals related to the cat family? The pirate scenes are heart-thumping. i know my students are going to love this book next year. I plan to order several more for the class library.
