In the spirit of Jules Vern and Robert Louis Stevenson comes the fine novel for young adults titled AIRBORN. I've always liked learning about airships. The Nazi propaganda ship HINDENBURG became a movie with George C. Scott and Anne Bancroft. It's a favorite of mine. So too is the kid's picture book by the same title. After decades of absence, yet another airship sails now: over the San Francisco Bay and Golden Gate Bridge is the newest of these amazing floating airships & for $500 a person can take a one hour tour ride. www.airshipventures.com is the web address. (I'm too tight to pay that kind of money for a 1 hour ride, but I do enjoy looking at the website and photos from the Zeppelin.) I listened to AIRBORNE on CD while I traveled so much this month. "Full Cast Audio" presents it in full cast drama style, complete with sound effects, and well, literally, a full cast. It was a great 10.5 hours!
Be well, do good.
