{"product_id":"the-balloon-boy-of-san-francisco","title":"The Balloon Boy of San Francisco","description":"In 1853, San Francisco newsboy Ready Gates lives up to his nickname. He's ready for anything--whether it's shouting the latest headlines from a street corner, sneaking onto a river boat to avoid paying the fare, or tracking down a missing gold miner. But when he crosses the bay to watch a balloon ascension, his adventures suddenly take an unexpected turn. Based on a true story, this book paints a colorful picture of daily life in San Francisco five years after the discovery of gold in California. It's drawn from newspapers, letters, diaries and many other historical documents.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0961735791\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0961735791.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Leland, Ms. Dorothy Kupcha\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43354339213373,"sku":"BVV.0961735791.VG","price":6.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0961735791-0.jpg?v=1784235868","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/the-balloon-boy-of-san-francisco","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
