I am reviewing a copy of Cloud Hopper through Penny Candy Books/Penelope Editions and Netgalley:



After a girl in a homemade hot air balloon falls out of the sky in  rural Gilbertine there are understandably questions, like why won’t she talk, and why has she risked her life to live somewhere that does not seem to want her.





Is there anything Sophie, Wyatt and K, three friends who are misfits and each have stories of their own that are rather complex.    What should they do to help her.




Told in the perspective of fourteen year old Sophie who lives with her Grandmother who is s loosing her battle with Multiple Sclerosis.



Cloud Hopper is an adventure that is set amongst old plane, Vietnam veterans and majestic hot air balloons.



Cloud Hopper is part adventure, but more than that it is a story of family, it’s a story of loss, and learning to let go.  It’s a story of pain and heartbreak, but that of adventure and joy as well.


Cloud Hopper reminds us that it is okay to be unique, to be your own person!



Five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!
