This book was very interesting. I was intrigued by the setting and subject of Hot Air Balloons. Living in the Southwest I see the Hot Air Balloons frequently. The author did a great job with the character development and the descriptions were so realistic. I felt this book had several stories woven into one. This is the first book that I have listened to where an author was also the narrator. She did a great job with some of the character accents. I found this book to be educational and entertaining. There were some unexpected twists and turns in this book which I loved. Also, her choice of characters was very interesting. I was voluntarily provided with this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, narrator, and/or publisher.
