Airborn is a 2004 young ault novel by Kenneth Oppel. The book has been honored by several awards including winning Canada's Governor General's Award. Airborn is set in a time where the primary form of air transportation are airships. Voice radio exists, but the airplane has not been invented, which suggests that the book takes place in an imaginary time period. The book takes place aboard a transoceanic airship, the Aurora, and is told through the perspective of its cabin boy, Matt Cruse.
