Title: Timeless
Review: I first read du Bois' work in sixth grade I believe, and I was captivated by his storytelling. In all fairness, I seldom have ever read fiction, but this book has a unique plot about it and offers fascinating elements of a story. At 19, I'm tempted to pick it up again as a refreshing escape from Macroeconomics and Brief calculus.The Twenty-One Balloons is an excellent read at the surface. However, it also offers up serious literary excellence. Any middle school English teacher, who would have their students read this book, would talk endlessly about the merits of the book. Foreshadowing, dynamic characters... it all flows evenly to produce a work easily readable for younger crowds but intense while still somehow whimsical for older kids.Overall, you won't be able to put the book down, and that's a serious assertion.
