The Twenty-One Balloons

This was a fun book to read with 6 year old Max. The vocabulary was probably more suited for a 12 or 13 year old, so I got to answer about 3 questions per paragraph, but he really grasped the story and loved it.

I really enjoyed it too! It has a lot of complex topics - the desire to explore and escape that people get after being in the same place for a long time, the economics of supply and demand, scientific inventions, the social aspects of living on a small island and some cool geography. It's a really engaging story that feels almost like it's completely factual.
