The 21 Balloons was a great book! It is about a former math teacher who wants to spend a whole year in a hot air balloon. Not too long after setting off in an exceptionally large hot air balloon the professor is found in the middle of the wreckage of a large platform in the ocean with 80 hot air balloons! How did this happen? Read the book to find out! The book’s content is suitable for young readers.

Even though the book is not huge it is an exciting and fast-paced read. I was incredibly sad when it was over! My heart rate was racing in some parts and the described contraptions are fun to read about!
