Airman by Eoin Colfer
The author of the "Artemis Fowl" series, brings us a new book - "Airman." This book begins with Declan Broekhart and his wife going to the World Fair in Paris in 1878. While taking a hot air balloon ride, his wife gives birth to their son Conor. In the 1890's Conor and his family live on a small island off of Ireland. Conor spends his days studying flight and exploring the king's castle with the king's daughter. However, Conor discovers a plot to overthrow the king and his life changes forever.
The book "Airman" sounds really interesting! And the cover of the book "Tunnels" is fascinating. I saw the cover of the sequel(I think) of Tunnels and it has the exact same style! Just different pictures. But there is a foreground, middle ground and a background of the same picture just like in tunnels there is a foreground, middle ground and a background of tunnnels on the cover. It is truly amazing!
