The Black Balloon is a symbolic representation of the story of the Cross. It is a story of a girl finding her faith and healing from the hurts she had experienced in the past. She struggles and wavers on the edge of choosing whether or not to trust the Christian faith or choosing to believe in nobody. Someone special comes at a meaningful time to rescue her from her affliction, and she finds serenity within her soul. Vivid illustrations bring the characters to life, making it enjoyable for both adolescents and adults alike. The cover reveals a wonder in and of itself!
