Product Description
When Darius Frobishers father flies off in a hot air balloon and doesn't come back, the boys happy, carefree life suddenly comes to an end. He is torn away from his beloved babysitter and sent to live with his notoriously nasty Aunt Ida. Most of his waking time is spent trying to dodge the teenage boy next door, who is home from military school and hungry to do horrible things to someone younger than himself. Darius sees a ray of hope when he finds a rusty old bicycle in the basement and begins to repair it in secret. Could this be the first step toward a reunion with Miss Hasting? Then one day he is startled to see an old man with long flowing hair riding a bicycle across the sky! Now he knows what he has to do to get away from his miserable life.Product Videos
