 📚 this is a joy ride through fantasy and adventure at the same time. It tells a story about a girl who loves to sneak around and do extreme activities such as climbing trees. Sadly, she got struck by the lighting while climbing the windmill. At that moment her mom died after saving her from the windmill. Time goes by but Clara always keeps in mind that the death of her mother was because of her. But, she intends not to remember about it. And there's a distance between her and her father after all the incidents. Made her uncomfortable and sometimes decided to do things uncommon such as flying with hundred balloons that tied to a chair at a science festival project!

 👉 Then, she grounded by flying through michigan and landed at the lake near her farm. But, her journey or I called it as destiny didn't stop at that moment. The chance of her became the real adventure open after the proposal that she received from Wooba. She asked for joining a race up with an air balloon that promised her to travel around the world with it. And it will lead her to become a pilot and celebrity as well.

 🥳 This was a light reading and fun reading that packed with interesting adventure and great writing style. It may remind you of Traveling Around the World in 80 Days which was written by Jules Verne. But, this was packed for children and yes, it's different yet thrilling. So glad I could read it and enjoyed the adventure with Clara dan Greta ❤
