The book, The Twenty-One Balloons, is about a man named Professor William Waterman Sherman. He decides to fly solo in a hot-air balloon over the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco. Unfortunately, he crashes on Krakatoa, a land of much wealth and fantastic inventions. He meets Mr. F, who shows the Professor all about the history and many inventions the island holds. One day, something tragic happens which I will not reveal to you. At the conclusion of his trip, Professor William Waterman Sherman tells his story in front of many friends from the Western American Explorer's Club.
My favorite part of the story is when Mr. F shows Professor William Waterman Sherman all of the inventions in Mr. M's house. I like how this book was adventurous and tragic at the same time. I also enjoyed how the story portrayed historical events and how the Krakatoans adapted to the island.
