Book Reviews of The Twenty-One Balloons
Book Review: A Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
It won a Newbery Award in 1948, and it will be obvious to any reader why it won. I don't feel qualified to say much about it, because I bet this guy's been reviewed by far better than me. But damn, there is just so much fuel for your imagination in here. He's given me much that I will remember for many years. So I strongly suggest that you Google around for some reviews of this, and then you'll be impressed, and then you'll read it, and then you'll love it forever. It's allegedly for children, but it's also the second book in my entire reviewing career that I feel like slapping the word "marvel" onto. Yeah, I marveled.
