RE: Book Review - The Twenty-One Ballons by William Pene du Bios
What a fun book review! The story sounds somewhat similar to the plot of the movie Up, though not exactly, of course.....

Lol, I thought the same thing! Maybe Up is a modern translation of the story. This book is actually getting old, it's maybe 50 years or more now. The preface was interesting because it addressed how another book was released about the same time with a very similar plotline. The book is also interesting because it teases that it is a fiction but is based on reality, but it won't tell us where the line between them is.
