Mr. Lemoncello meets the Amazing Race in this quirky high-octane
balloon-racing middle grade around-the-world adventure.
When an unintended flight over Michigan in her class science project—a lawn
chair held aloft by balloons—brings her instant celebrity, Clara Poole is
invited to be the spokesperson for a round-the-world adventure race. But when
her overprotective father refuses, Clara forges his signature in a moment of
defiance and runs away to Paris to take her place in the skies. If only she’d
read the fine print first.
Partnered with a veteran aeronaut who wants nothing to do with her, Clara faces
down ten treacherous stages in a race around the world—capturing flags in the
perilous mountains of Nepal; being a guest of honor at a maybe-wedding in the
Saharan desert; flying through rings of fire in Hong Kong—all while learning
the ropes alongside a colorful cast of international competitors.
But there are more dangers ahead. Someone is trying to sabotage the
competition. And surviving this race means Clara must come to terms with the
tragedy that set her fleeing to the skies in the first place, and accepting
that forgiving herself isn’t a process she has to undertake alone.
Gorgeous prose and winning characters combine in this quirky, often-hilarious,
sometimes heart-breaking, and thoroughly captivating middle grade adventure
series starter from an incredible new talent.
