dances in the wind.

the rooftops of Paris. His family, the Montgolfiers, are desperate
to be first to discover the secret of flight.
The world looks so different up high and suddenly Magpie knows
what she wants – to be the first to fly in a balloon above
the King and Queen of France ...
From the bestselling historical fiction author of books
including Secrets of a Sun King, When
We Were Warriors and Letters

tale based on the true story of the first hot air balloon flight
over Paris in the eighteenth century

facing your fears
