The most exciting adventures are the ones that really happened! This brand-new Totally True Adventures book follow America’s first superstar pilot, Charles Lindbergh.
 
In the 1920s, flying was brand new—and very dangerous.
A $25,000 prize for the first flight from New York to Paris went unclaimed for years. Many teams tried. And many teams failed. Still, Charles Lindbergh felt he had a shot at the prize. He wasn’t famous. He wasn’t rich. But he was determined. He’d cross the ocean in a tiny plane . . . and he’d do it all by himself!
 
After you've read the story, don't miss the bonus content with extra facts, a timeline, and more 20th century history, geography, and science-tie-ins!


From the Trade Paperback edition.

I loved this book because it was exilarating when Charles Lindbergh, the main character, was about to take off from new york to Paris without landing! One of my favorite parts was when the king of England asked Lindbergh "Tell me,how did you pee?" (during the flight).

I bought this book as a birthday present for an eight year old down the street who is aviation-obsessed. I hadn't planned to read it myself, but once I started, I could not put it down. Did you know Lindbergh had four near-death airborne experiences before he decided to risk the trans-Atlantic crossing? That he taught himself about navigation by spending long lonely hours reading in the public library? This was one brave, determined dude. I love the way the author of this book chooses only the juiciest facts and relates them in short, clear sentences that move along at a nice clip. The chapters are short, too, and they all end on an exciting note. Fascinating history, well told for any age reader, in my opinion!

This is an absolutely wonderful book, a great story compellingly told with illuminating and delightful illustrations. It is a gripping retelling of a great story and will should grab the attention of the most reluctant reader. Highly recommended!
