Charles Lindbergh grew up as planes were just being invented. He knew he wanted to fly and he was determined to meet his goal. He became a delivery and trick pilot. When he heard about the reward of $25,000 for any pilot who could fly straight from New York City to Paris, Charles plotted and planned. Will he make it?
This was an excellent read, with the content created perfectly for 2-4 grade readers. I thought it was interesting and well written. It includes lots of photographs. Students will love this book. I also enjoyed extra content with more facts about the time period.
