Awesome
This is a fantastic book! I really liked how Matt tricked those pirates!
Airships
This series is awesome! It's a great portrayal of how the world would be if we still used airships. I love the "new element" hydrium, which is the lightest element in their world, but does not react as explosively as hydrogen does (a portmanteau of hydrogen and helium, the two lightest elements, but whereas hydrogen is extremely reactive, helium is extremely unreactive).
