Summary

When a girl in a homemade hot air balloon falls out of the sky in rural Gilbertine, there are questions: Who is this girl, where exactly did she come from, why won't she talk, and what has she risked to live in a country that does not seem to want her? Sophie, Wyatt, and K-- three misfit best friends with complex and harrowing stories of their own-- seek to help the girl. Soon they're off on a high-flying adventure among the old planes, Vietnam vets, and majestic hot air balloons of a run-down municipal airport. -- adapted from back cover
