The Cloudchasers is written by David Richardson and beautifully illustrated by Steven Hunt. The main character is Alice, who lives in the bland world of Bankertown. Alice, while out one night, meets Spinner, a poor street boy who gives her a ticket to the fair. All this awfulness in Bankertown is because of the Banker, a horrible man. At the fair Spinner, Alice and her goody two shoes brother Thomas, set off in a hot air balloon to try and get imagination and happiness back to Bankertown. My favourite part is when they get a cloud map, to tell them where they are going. It could of been better by having more characters that stay in the story. This book would be good for about 11 year old children and up. 4 out of 5 stars. Available in the school library in 2011.
