Review: Creative, excellent for all ages - Reminiscent of the adventure of Kon Tiki, spellbinding!! Was reading in conjunction with my granddaughter and am eager to share my thoughts with her.
Review: EXTRAORDINARY - I loved this whole book overall. The only thing I did not like is that it has a slow ( yet necessary) start. However the adventure, mystery, and creative base of the book was amazing

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EXTRAORDINARY
*by A***R on August 15, 2024*

I loved this whole book overall. The only thing I did not like is that it has a slow ( yet necessary) start. However the adventure, mystery, and creative base of the book was amazing

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A deligtful classic
*by A***Z on January 26, 2025*

William Penn DuBois was a wonderful illustrator and a delightful story teller. His upbeat tale of balloon flight and "steam punk" technology is peppered with lovely pictures and humour observations of the human condition. It's also an opportunity to discuss the world and geography with a young child as his trip is a circumnavigation in a "mere 40 days"! Jules Verne move over.
