Prepare to be swept up, up and away on this high-flying adventure from the queen of historical fiction, Emma Carroll!
 
Orphan Magpie can't believe her eyes when she sees a boy swept off his feet by a kite ... or something that twists and dances in the wind. Like her, the boy – Pierre – dreams of flying over the rooftops of Paris.

His family, the Montgolfiers, are desperate to be first to discover the secret of flight. The world looks so different up high and suddenly Magpie knows what she wants – to be the first to fly in a balloon above the King and Queen of France ...
