Amanda Zieba Learning with the Word Nerd | First Chapter Friday Adventurous Read Aloud || Airborn @AmandaZiebatheWordNerd | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Friday, September 23, 20022 Airborn -- Each Friday I share the first chapter of a book perfect for middle school readers. Today's title is a high flying adventure of a story by Kenneth Oppel. Trust me, once you start reading Airborn, a Printz award winning book, you won’t be able to put it down. And you’ll be super excited to know that it’s the first in a series of three books for middle grade and young adult readers.
Make sure you hang around for the whole video to learn the mystery quote, which will be revealed one word at a time! I’ve also got a little motivation and inspiration waiting for you if you dream of one day being an author!
Book Blurb: Matt Cruse is cabin boy aboard the Aurora, an airship which truly is lighter than air. Since the discovery of hydrium, a gas that renders even the heaviest vehicle as light as a feather, airships travel all over the world in the same way as planes do today. Matt himself was born on an airship and it is there that he feels most at home. Matt has high hopes for promotion to junior sailmaker on this voyage - until Kate de Vries, one of the wealthy passengers, arrives on the scene. She's feisty and brave, and won't let social distinctions get in the way of her friendship with Matt. And all their bravery is required when one night, in the middle of the ocean, they are boarded by pirates and caught up in adventures beyond all imagining...
