This is Eudora, and Eudora is about to go on an exciting adventure. For years, she and her best friend Sam have talked about renting a hot air balloon and letting the wind take them wherever it pleases, and today, this dream is finally coming true! Where will their adventure take them? To the wilds of Switzerland, where they’ll be forced to wrestle with wild monkeys and bears? To the mysterious land of Nebraska, where they’ll learn the ancient skills of tree smiting and horse tattling? To Russia, where they’ll be invited to hat-making contests and pie-centric festivals? To the library to check out a decent encyclopedia so they know what to actually expect when they land in a foreign country? Wherever they’re going, Eudora better get in the basket fast before Sam has to take this amazing trip all on her own!
