By Balloon to the Sahara
by Douglas Terman

What will happen on this exciting journey? You get to choose!

You are floating high above the earth in a giant balloon. Below you is the Sahara Desert, with its endless, golden sands, hundreds of camels, and mud-walled villages. Suddenly you see a large silver dome twinkling in the distance. Should you land the balloon and see what it is? If it’s a flying saucer, it might be dangerous … should you play it safe and stay in the clouds?
