Plot
Arthur and his parents are going to the Farx's retirement party which is for adults only, but Arthur keeps on asking why. Just then he finds an old novel entitled "93 Million Miles in a Balloon" since Mr. Farx got it from his granddaddy when he was Arthur's age. He decides to read the book and reads it at home. It is about Gustavius Bolds, who decided to travel with a young compatriot 93 million miles in a balloon. They are near the sun when Arthur discovers the end is missing. David calls Mr. Farx where it is, but he saw no lost pages and he couldn't remember the ending. He finds an available copy at the library, but the person got it ten years ago and then moved house. It is out of print and the library couldn't find another available copy. Arthur and Jane find an available copy on the internet at home, but it costed $1000. However, there was a 16mm film called "93 Million Miles in a Balloon". The film doesn't do anything, as it is just a musical with a woman singing a song about going to Broadway from Nebraska in a balloon, 93 million miles away. Then, Jane finds some lost pages in Arthur's jacket, ruined. Then there is a dream with Gustavius Bolds and Arthur near the sun. A woman near Shelby Town has an available book called "93 Million Miles in a Balloon", but the kids scribbled in the ending. David then tells Arthur it is hard to predict if he will ever find the ending. Arthur meanwhile has another dream at bedtime with him and Gustavius Bolds near the sun.
