And at the same time, the pair are on the adventure of a lifetime.With STARCLIMBER, Oppel explores both the ways in Matt and Kate fit together and the ways in which they clash, and he does so beautifully. There's tons going on between Matt and Kate, and it's good, meaty stuff that delves into and plays off of their relationship in all the right ways. With STARCLIMBER, he's got the balance just right. It was still good, but it wasn't as much fun. Oppel shifted his focus from adventure to interpersonal stuff, and I thought the book suffered for it. Yes, it's kind of far fetched, (kind of? Ha!), but it's so awesome that the questionable science really doesn't matter.I must admit, I wasn't quite so thrilled with SKYBREAKER as I was with AIRBORN. This book is about as far from stupid as you can get. Victorian/Edwardianesque science, sending people to space! Pff!You know what else? I was dead wrong. I wondered what Kenneth Oppel was thinking, sending Matt and Kate into space. The Canadian government approaches Matt Cruise and Kate DeVries about an exciting new mission: the very first flight into space.You know what? When I first heard of this book, I thought it sounded pretty durned stupid.
