The Twenty-One Balloons by William Pène du Bois

After years of teaching Maths to students at school, all that Professor William wanted was to kick back and relax. So he built an hot air-balloon, with all the things that any humble human would have needed for survival. But take it as a twist of fate, instead he crash-lands on an island Krakatoa just within a few days of travel. And this island isn't a normal one either, with enormous amounts of wealth, strange but fascinating people (inhabitants) and out-of-the-box inventions all over. With all the secrets revealed, he is cursed to re,main on the island FoReVeR. (Good or bad?) ....
....... Unless he finds a way to escape.


A simply amazing book, full of twists, turns, and of course balloons. This is a one of a kind book, which you won't be able to put down till completed. In short, I was left awe-struck by the author's creation and imagination. A book for all ages.
