'Seventh in the enormously popular Emily Eyefinger series. A charity is raising money to help save the rainforest by selling rides in a hot air balloon. Emily and her friends donate money to the charity and so they, too, get a chance to ride in the balloon. Sitting in the bottom of the basket is a metal box that holds the day's takings. As Emily is climbing out of the basket at the end of her flight, three masked people jump in and make off with the balloon and the cash. Emily is still hanging on to the ladder and is carried away with them. Somehow Emily must survive the flight and catch the robbers. But how? Ages 7+' (Publisher's blurb)
