Peter was born on the east side of Germany, the side that wasn’t free. He watches news programs rather than cartoons, and wears scratchy uniforms instead of blue jeans. Peter and his family have a secret. Late at night in their attic, they are piecing together a hot air balloon—and a plan. Can Peter and his family fly their way to freedom?

Further information on the balloon and the Wetzel family’s escape attempts. Author’s note. “The Cold War and the Berlin Wall.” Map of the Wetzels’ escape route. Full-color illustrations.
