There are many reasons why I chose to read "Airborn" by Kenneth Oppel. It was actually a process of several steps. First, I looked up a list of Michael L. Printz Award and went through each year. I knew I didn't want to read a book from earlier than 2000. I don't know why but there's just something about old books that makes me not want to read them. Next, I looked through titles. I also have a little weird thing about titles; I like simple titles rather than long ones and I'm more likely to look into books with short titles than books with long titles. "Airborn", the title is short and as simple as one word. It caught my eye. This lead me to click the link of the book and read the description. I then read about the action and adventure it was filled with. I thought this was a book that suits my personality and I would enjoy reading it.
I made a connection with the main character, Matt Cruse. He loved flying and being in the air. He reminded me of how I enjoy the outdoors. I don't go hiking or camping every weekend, and I'm not a Boy Scout or a big outdoorsman, but I do enjoy outdoor activities whenever I do them. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy adventure, exploration, or anyone looking to read a book with a lot of action.
This is my copy of "Airborn". I also liked the simple cover, another small thing that seems like it wouldn't matter but does to me.
