The Clouds Above by Jordan Crane

The Clouds Above by Jordan Crane

Summary: The book I read was The Clouds Above by Jordan Crane. There is this boy named Slyly with his cat Jake. Slyly was late for school so they both found a way to get inside. Slyly and Jack were almost caught by his teacher Missus Poe, so they run to the top of the school. Slyly finds a door with stairs going up, up, up, and up. When they get to the top they try walking on the clouds, which surprisingly hold them. Suddenly, they find a cloud crying because he cannot fly. So Slyly and Jack help him and succeed. They are rewarded with a ride. At the end of the story, Slyly and Jack start to fall from the sky as the cloud condenses into raindrops. Birds aid Slyly and Jack and they return to their classroom.

Genre: fantasy

Rank: 4/5

Would you recommend this book to a friend? yes

Review: I would recommend this book to a friend because I find it very interesting how they could walk on clouds and how the stairs were in the air yet did not fall. Also, this book is funny in some parts. I also love the pictures in this story. There is a lot of detail in the pictures which depict what is occurring in the story. I ranked this a four because it was a very cute story and a perfect book for me!
