A World where we are AIRBORNE
by Wade Sigurdson 7B
A peaceful blimp ride on the Aurora from Lionsgate city to Sydney, Australia all goes terribly wrong when the legendary pirate Captain Szpirglas boards the Aurora and loots all her valuables. After Szpirglas leaves a terrible storm ship wrecks the Aurora on an unknown and uncharted island. There cabin boy Matt Cruise (main character) follows Miss Kate de Vries on an adventure to discover a new secret and end up having to fight to get everyone off the island.
The thing that I liked most about this novel was how masterfully author Kenneth Oppel took a bunch of technologies from different eras to make a world of skies. This is a world where the only way to travel and be social is to ride the majestic balloons that surf the winds.
If I were the author of this book, the one thing I would change about this story is having a greater focus of time. If Kenneth Oppel had focused more on the time I would be able to envision the tale better. What year was it when the story took place?
