(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Polly Dunbar. Paul takes the lift up to the twenty-ninth floor of his apartment building because he wants to touch the sky. This journey catapults him into an adventure during which he meets an odd cast of characters who teach him about risk-taking and exploring strange ideas. Paul's story, beautifully illustrated in full color, reveals a new dimension to Almond's particular brand of magic realism.
