In Airborn, did you enjoy ...

... the thrilling, mission-focused adventure?

Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld

If you loved the sense of purpose and high-stakes adventure as Matt and Kate raced to uncover the truth aboard the Aurora in Airborn, you'll be swept away by Leviathan. In this alternate steampunk World War I, Deryn and Alek must navigate the skies on a living airship, facing constant peril and pursuing a clear, urgent goal that keeps the pages turning.

... the richly imagined, unique world?

The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson

If the vivid details of airship travel, mysterious creatures, and the alternate history of Airborn captured your imagination, The Rithmatist will delight you. Sanderson creates a fascinating world where chalk drawings come to life, and the magic system is as thoroughly explained and immersive as Oppel's skybound universe.

... the rapid pace and constant action?

Skyward by Brandon Sanderson

If you enjoyed the heart-pounding pace and relentless danger Matt faces among pirates and storms in Airborn, you'll be hooked by Skyward. Spensa's fight to prove herself as a pilot is filled with aerial battles and quick turns, making every chapter a breathless rush.

... the growth and resilience of young protagonists?

Nation by Terry Pratchett

If watching Matt and Kate mature through adversity and discover new strengths was a highlight in Airborn, then Nation is a must-read. Mau and Daphne are thrown together by disaster and must rebuild their lives, growing in courage and depth with every challenge they face.

... the blend of inventive technology and alternate history?

Fever Crumb by Philip Reeve
