Lighter Than Air

Henry Melton, author of the award winning Emperor Dad, brings you a Small Towns, Big Ideas science fiction adventure from Upper Peninsula Michigan.

It could be the best prank in the history of Munising High School's unofficial Prank Day. Working for a next door neighbor inventor had left Jon Kish with unlimited quantities of lighter-than-air foam, perfect for building...say, a full-sized flying saucer! High school honor demanded it. Plus with the family stress of his mother's surgery, he needed something to keep his mind occupied. But then little sister Cherry launched the runaway craft, trapping herself aboard, and events more serious than high school pranks or Mother's cancer were about to focus the world's attention on this little northern town.

Winner of the Eleanor Cameron Golden Duck Award.
