"The Magic Balloon is about Arabella, a small girl adapting to loneliness and the prospect of going to boarding school. Her adventure with her new friends assists her to overcome her fears. A story set in rural Australia about a young girl who faces challenges in a move from the city to the country and loneliness. Her adventure of making some new friends and her apprehension of a new school are difficulties faced by children every day. I do hope this story will delight the young reader."
