Sophie Takes to the Sky

"So when a balloonist comes to the town fair, Sophie is left behind while everyone else goes to watch him fly in his marvelous balloon. She's far too frightened of the crowds, the commotion and even riding in a horse-drawn carriage. But if she could just be brave enough to face her fears, who knows where Sophie's journey might take her. A reimagining of the childhood of Sophie Blanchard, one of the world's first female aeronauts." --Page 4 of cover.
