Unhappy at home with her well-meaning but undependable mother and her cruel, iron-willed grandmother, Bonnie escapes one night in a neighbor's hot air balloon. When the balloon lands, Bonnie finds herself in in the land beyond the sky, a mysterious world that seems just like her own but is at once more wonderful and more treacherous. Bonnie soon discovers that she has to conquer the evil in this strange world before she can triumph in her own. First published in England to widespread acclaim, Midnight Blue is a lovely, haunting fantasy in the tradition of A Wrinkle in Time.
