What begins as an ordinary balloon demonstration takes a wild turn when a brilliant but unhinged inventor commandeers his own creation and carries three unwitting passengers far beyond the Mississippi. Lifted high above the Atlantic, the trio soon finds itself drifting over the endless dunes of the Sahara.
From the deck of the runaway airship, they witness caravans, lions, sandstorms, and bandits, glimpse the Sphinx and the pyramids, and pause near the slopes of Sinai. Hunger, thirst, and a swarm of unwelcome insects test their resourcefulness, while quarrels over geography, theology, and the proper use of a flea provide steady comedy along the way.
Narrated in the unmistakable voice of an unschooled river boy with strong opinions and stronger curiosity, this airy sequel to a beloved American classic blends armchair travel with frontier humor, sending three dreamers on a flight that turns the world below into one long, sun-baked adventure.
