Jeff is an adventurous nine-year-old boy who gets inspired to make a hot air balloon after reading an exciting story in a book. Thus with his best friends in tow, Jeff assembles the necessary supplies and begins working on his very own hot air balloon. Many of the people in the town of Weston, where Jeff lives, ridicule him for trying to build such a crazy contraption. But Jeff is convinced his balloon will fly and, to the amazement of nearly everyone, it actually does! Jeff and His Magic Hot Air Balloon is a delightful contemporary children's story that's partially based upon memories from the author's own childhood. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/KaraCliffe
