James Gadd
Harry Gadd is the ten-year-old grandson of James Gadd and the child whose imperilment begins the novel. Trapped in the basket of a wind-tossed hot-air balloon, Harry must be rescued before the balloon can be blown into nearby power lines. Once John Logan falls to his death and Harry realizes that he is on his own, he slowly lets air out of the balloon and returns to the ground safely.

The balloon might well come down safely at the bottom of the hill. And perhaps my impulse to hang on was nothing more than a continuation of what I had been attempting moments before, simply a failure to adjust quickly.
