The 21 Balloons ~ William Pene du Bois
Guy builds the hot air balloon to end all hot air balloons and intends to float all the way around the world on it, but instead he crash lands on a secret island filled with diamonds where 20 families live in the lap of luxury, secluded from the rest of the world and perfectly content.
Fun read. Interesting idea. You could do a lot of art projects with kids who were reading this book, but that's really about it. There aren't any deep themes or questions to explore and it seems like a story that would appeal to retirees before it would appeal to school-age kids, but don't quote me on that.
