Seriously?? There is NO BALLOON????
(obviously I had never gotten around to reading the book, lol)
But... really????
I thought the balloon was practically the whole trip!

How funny.

No balloon?? Wow!!

It's just madness that the publishers perpetuate the myth with the covers still showing a hot air balloon. I guess they never read it either!
