" Matt Cruse has the life he has always dreamed of a cabin boy on the Aurora, a luxury passenger airship that sails hundreds of feet above the ocean. Then one night he meets the a dying balloonist who speaks of beautiful creature drifting through the skies who are completely real and utterly mysterious." Just by reading the back cover of the book makes me want to read what the dying balloonist has to say about the creatures no one has even seen

The book I chose for my summer reading project is Airborn by Kenneth Oppel. The main character in my book is a teenage boy named Matt Cruse who works on an Airship who's name has not been mentioned. The main setting of the book takes place on the airship over the pacifucus ocean or on the island that they crash landed on. So the main conflict I am at right now is that the airship just crashed on an island and the reason they crashed is because they were taken over by pirates. When the pirates were leaving the ship they messed with the ships fuel and caused them to lose so much they had to land.
