Airborn by Kenneth Oppel

The other book I chose was Airborn by Kenneth Oppel. Airborn is a book about a boy named Matt Cruse he is a cabin boy on an airship named the Aurora. He is on this airship most of his life he sends all the money he gets to his mom and his two sisters. One night he was on night shift and he radios the captain. There was a big hot air balloon coming towards them. They tried to talk to the balloon but it wouldn't respond. They decided to land it on their ship. They had to get up there somehow. Matt decided to climb into the basket of the hot air balloon. When Matt reached the basket he found a old man, a very, very sick old man. A couple of days later Matt went to the Nurse where the old man was still very sick he asked Matt, "Did you see them?". Matt didn't know what he was talking about. But then later Matt meets a girl whose Grandfather was the Dying old man. They talk about the creatures he was asking about. Will Matt believe them or not like every one else?
