When sixteen-year-old Ellie Baum accidentally time-travels via red balloon to 1988 East Berlin, she’s caught up in a conspiracy of history and magic. She meets members of an underground guild in East Berlin who use balloons and magic to help people escape over the Wall—but even to the balloon makers, Ellie’s time travel is a mystery. When it becomes clear that someone is using dark magic to change history, Ellie must risk everything—including her only way home—to stop the process.
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Locke's debut is an intricately plotted historical thriller with elements of science fiction and magical realism...a sensitive exploration of the long-lasting effects of war and subjugation, especially on marginalized people. ...This sophisticated, unusual work is likely to appeal to fans of World War II and Holocaust fiction, as well as those who like their history with a tinge of romance and magic." - School Library Journal
"An absorbing blend of historical fiction, mystery, and magical realism."--Kirkus Reviews
"...readers will find an enticing, intriguing new novel. This is a clever concept--what if luftballons were magical time-traveling devices?--and Locke fills in the blanks with questions about history and life and love. This is a must for any historical fiction collection." -Booklist
"The Girl with the Red Balloon is a bold, unique fantasy that manages to be both timely and timeless. Katherine Locke has powerful things to say about how the past and present shape each other and the future, and about the magic of the human spirit." - Gwenda Bond, author of the Lois Lane series and the Girl on a Wire series
"Locke's deft twist on one of history's sharper edges blends magic and sci-fi for a gripping, heart wrenching read." - E.K. Johnston, #1 NYT Bestselling author, author of The Story of Owen, Prairie Fire, Exit Pursued by a Bear, A Thousand Nights, Spindle, Ahsoka (Star Wars), and That Inevitable Victorian Thing
"Katherine Locke expertly captures the intense paranoia and repression of Soviet-controlled East Berlin with the brutal, smothering existence of the Jewish inhabitants of the Lodz ghetto and Chelmno death camp in Nazi Germany. Through interlocking timelines, she inspires us with the hope written into every magician's balloon, and a tender, aching romance. Ellie's tale of a girl lost in time pulled me right along with her as she soared above her circumstances." - Lindsay Smith, author of SEKRET, SKANDAL, DREAMSTRIDER, A DARKLY BEATING HEART, and Serial Box's THE WITCH WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD
"Tightly woven time travel and magical devastation buoys up a history thatfeels all too present. The Girl With The Red Balloon soars." --Heidi Heilig,author of The Girl from Everywhere and The Ship Beyond Time

Siblings Ilse and Wolf hide a deep secret in their blood: with it, they can work magic. And the government just found out.
Blackmailed into service during World War II, Ilse lends her magic to America’s newest weapon, the atom bomb, while Wolf goes behind enemy lines to sabotage Germany’s nuclear program. It’s a dangerous mission, but if Hitler were to create the bomb first, the results would be catastrophic.
When Wolf’s plane is shot down, his entire mission is thrown into jeopardy. Wolf needs Ilse’s help to develop the magic that will keep him alive, but with a spy afoot in Ilse’s laboratory, the letters she sends to Wolf begin to look treasonous. Can Ilse prove her loyalty—and find a way to help her brother—before their time runs out?
