Walter Tipple is looking for adventure. His big brother, Tank, always used to say, "Let' s you and me go see the world, Little Man"-but Tank went to the army and never came home, and Walter doesn' t know how to see the world without him. But then he meets the brash, brave new girl next door named Posey, as well as an eccentric man named Banjo who' s off on a bodacious adventure of his own. What follows is a summer of mishaps, mayhem, strange quests, and strong friendships-and maybe, Walter can learn who he' s supposed to be without the brother he always wanted to be like. This is a wild, adventurous, and utterly heartfelt story from the acclaimed and bestselling author Barbara O' Connor.
"The two children balance fear with bravery. . . Heartfelt and accessible. " --Kirkus Reviews"This friendship story is sweet and savory, with memorable main characters in Walter, Posey, and Banjo and a story elegant in its simplicity. " --Booklist"The technical details of retrieving, repairing, launching, and piloting a hot-air balloon add flavor and expand the audience for this feel-good friendship story, and Walter' s balloon ride satisfyingly fulfills Tank' s dream-given promise of a new perspective on his familiar world. " --The Bulletin of the Center for Children' s Books
