I read Airborn when it first came out and I recently reread it again as an adult. The story really holds up and it was so much fun to revisit this world and the characters within it!

I recommend this book to all lovers of kenneth oppel's stories! A great sci-fi that contains adventure, awkward social status awareness, and great stuff in general!

Kenneth Oppel came to my school once, last year. I started reading the book, but I got REALLY bored, no offence, but it was'nt that exciting, kind of predictable.
