Author Barbara O'Connor hits it out of the park once again. HALFWAY TO HARMONY is full of humor, adventure, and downright fun.
Walter and Posey become a problem solving duo as they try to help an odd man named Banjo on what he describes as his "bodacious adventure." Walter misses his older brother Tank who was killed in action after enlisting in the army. Posey, addicted to facts and finding fun for the summer, takes Walter under her wing promising to teach him the rules for making new friends.
When a strange man shows up with a broken truck and a story about the colorful hot air balloon that needs rescuing, Posey and Walter decide to lend a hand. According to the man nicknamed Banjo, he needs to fix his truck and find his balloon before an event called the Macon County Key Grab. Banjo's great dream is to fly his balloon and successfully grab the key to a brand new pickup truck from the top of the goal post at the nearby high school.
There are many problems to solve before Banjo can reach his dream. Walter and Posey agree to help, but it will mean breaking some rules and daring some dangerous situations. Readers will be rooting for the duo and holding their breath as the fast-paced action of HALFWAY TO HARMONY begins to roll.
