There s nothing unusual or different about the Brocket family – and they re keen to keep it that way. But when Barnaby Brocket comes into the world, it s clear he s anything but ordinary. To his parents’ horror, Barnaby defies the laws of gravity – and floats. Soon, the Brockets decide enough is enough. The neighbours are starting to talk. They never asked for a weird, abnormal, floating child. Barnaby has to go . . . Betrayed and frightened, Barnaby floats into the path of a very special hot air balloon – and so begins a magical journey around the world, with a cast of extraordinary new friends.
