The Girl with the Red Balloon

When sixteen-year-old Ellie Baum accidentally time-travels via red balloon to 1988 East Berlin, she's caught up in a conspiracy of history and magic. She meets members of an underground guild in East Berlin who use balloons and magic to help people escape over the Wall — but even to the balloon makers, Ellie's time travel is a mystery.

When it becomes clear that someone is using dark magic to change history, Ellie must risk everything — including her only way home — to stop the process.

"An absorbing blend of historical fiction, mystery, and magical realism." -- Kirkus Reviews
