A Voyage in the Clouds: The (Mostly) True Story of the First International Flight by Balloon in 1785 by Matthew Olshan

5.0

I loved this book! There is so much interesting information, and witty dialogue, and hilarious happenings! It's 1785 and Dr. John Jeffries and Jean-Pierre Blanchard (and their dogs) want to make the first international flight by balloon across the English Channel (or is it La Manche? ;)). The main problem is: they don't get along! Will they learn to work together to ensure safe passage? Whatever happens, it's bound to be an adventure!
