This was a very good book that was very interesting and exciting. I would want to have it at home to read it again.

Well, I'm only on chapter 6...but this book is amazing! It feels like you're RIGHT there in the book...and it's so exciting. Even though nobody lives on Krakatoa in real life-this book tells a totally different story and I really love that. It's a tie between The 21 Balloons and The Tale Of Despereaux for the best book I've ever read. I can't decide...hmm? =0) Anyways...I love this book so much and certainly reccommend it!! (I DEFINITELY SEE WHY IT HAS A NEWBERRY AWARD)

It all started when Professer Sherman's balloon was damaged by a pecking bird and crashed landed near the island of Krakatoa, an island in the Atlantic Ocean. After making his way to the island, he met an unusual man named Mr.F. Mr.F lived on Krakatoa. People thought it was imposible to live there because of the volcano there. All Professor Sherman wanted to do was to go home, but the people of Krakatoa don't want him to leave. Will he make it home? Read THE 21 BALLOONS to find out.

I am writing this review in this space on this page of this copy of the book because this is what the copy that I read looked like. I did not purchase it over Amazon.com, but I liked it just the same even if I did.

It starts off with Professor William Sherman who is in San Fransisco. He crashes in his balloon, and he then lands on an island that escapes my mind at the moment. The island has families like the A Family and the B Family. I enjoyed this book thoroughly and you probably will, too.
