The third and final book I read this summer was Airman by Eoin Colfer. The book is about a boy named Conor Broekhart who lives on the sovereign Saltee Islands. He spends most of his time studying science. When his is not studying he plays with the king’s daughter, Princess Isabella. Since she is a princess, she only likes to play games about her being held hostage, and a brave knight or prince saving her. Conor does not like these kinds of games he’d rather spread his wings and practice flying
Besides not liking the games he plays, his life does not have any problems until his king’s life is threatened. Being good friends with the king’s daughter he tries to help save the king but ends up in jail instead ! Which is not right at all ! He’s trying to do the right thing but instead ends up in the wrong place. He can’t do much there but mine for diamonds. He knows that there is only to escape and that is to fly.
