À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Barnaby continued to rise, higher and higher into the sky, unsure what was going to happen to him next . . .

À propos de la deuxième de couverture

There's nothing unusual about the Brockets. Boring, respectable, and proud of it, they turn up their noses at anyone strange or different. But from the moment Barnaby Brocket comes into the world, he defies the laws of gravity - and floats. Desperate to please his parents, Barnaby does his best to keep both feet on the ground - but he just can't do it!

One fateful day, the Brockets decide enough is enough. They never asked for a weird, abnormal, floating child. Barnaby has to go . . .

Betrayed, frightened and alone, Barnaby floats into the path of a very special hot air balloon - and so begins a magical journey around the world.
