Full summary
In the midst of sleep, Frankie gets excited upon hearing her father talk about red balloons, connecting it with a recent dream she had about a girl and balloons. Frankie hears her father’s commotion and reluctantly gets out of bed, discovering the car gate outside their house covered with red balloon graffiti. What captures her, however, are the large stenciled words "ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE." Frankie quickly pieces things together: previously, Milan had sent her a cryptic text to "watch out"; he had been the one who introduced Banksy to her; he was responsible for the footprints and monkey graffiti; and finally, he was the one who’d visited her house at night, leaving the balloon graffiti message. Overwhelmed, Frankie retreats into her room. Now aware of Milan’s secret graffiti identity, she is uncertain whether to confront him or not.
Later that day, Frankie reads a newspaper article about a group of young people learning to work on street arts under a Woodstock-based lady. She also discovers various forms of art like chalk drawings on pavements, sticky notes on trees, stone patterns on sidewalks, and seed bombs in abandoned areas. Frankie finds an intriguing recipe for a seed bomb, which she copies and hides under her bed before her environmentally-conscious mother can notice. Aware there are many ways to express herself without spray paint, Frankie marvels at how the day, despite its odd start, had turned into one of her most perfect Saturdays yet.
