Airborn by Kenneth Oppel is a book about young Matt Cruse, the cabin boy of the air ship Aurora. Then Matt saves a dying balloonist. The man tells Matt about beautiful, impossible creatures he saw in the clouds. Matt dismisses the story but when Kate, the granddaughter of the balloonist comes aboard the Aurora, Matt's world is turned upside down. Kate and Matt go on many adventures to prove the creatures are real. But one night a band of air pirates board the Aurora. A wonderful, suspenseful book; it was a lot of fun to read!
Sounds like it would make a good movie!
