2.5 stars.

With all the filler episodes you could adapt to a 100 page book, why did they have to make up a story? At least it feels like an original story because otherwise… a lot of stuff was wrong.

Non Canon adventure, a slog of a story but I can’t say I didn’t have fun with it when I was reading it. Though that could be because I was reading it out loud at times and my bad impressions were doing a lot of heavy lifting in terms of enjoyment.

Finished this one, and it was a slog. It's all about a balloon race and it is just so repetitive and boring. Usually we read 2 chapters a night so can get through it rapidly. This one we read 1 chapter per night and the kids were not interested much. There is only so many times that you can talk about balloons slowly drifting pass each other.
