Illustrated by
P. Buckley Moss.
In his fourth gentle adventure, Reuben, a young Amish boy, is fascinated by the flight of hot-air balloons over his family's farm. When a balloon lands near his property, Reuben and two of his friends get to take a thrilling ride. The story is slight but pleasingly illustrated with unfussy paintings of rural farm life.
