Skybreaker: Kenneth Oppel



Matt and Kate are back to their usual adventures in this sequel to Airborn.  During a near death experience, Matt sighted, and is therefore one of the few people who know the coordinates of, the lost airship Hyperion.  Rumored to be carrying the treasure of an eccentric scientist, the rush to claim the salvage begins.  Joined by others, Matt and Kate decide to go after Her themselves in a new class of airship capable of extreme altitudes.  Of course there are other groups eager to catch the Hyperion and the race becomes very dangerous.  This is a fairly intense book.  It is a great adventure and has some violence and mildly scary sequences for younger readers.  There are plenty of twists, and nothing works out the way one would assume.  A very fun read.
