Fly Girl



FlyGirl
This fun book takes place in the time of World War II and it's about a girl named Ida Mae Jones.
All Ida has ever wanted to do was fly. When her father was alive, he went to flying school and came back to the strawberry farm with a Curtis JN-4 plane, or "Jenny". That day he took everyone up into the sky. Ida was the last. When she went up into the blue vault of the sky, she never wanted to come back down.
Now in World War II, Jackie Cochran has agreed to help the U.S. Army train women to become pilots and help with the war overseas.
Ida sees this as a big chance to use her light skin to pass as a white girl, and so she joins the Woman Airforce Service Pilots, or WASP.
But later she learns the dangers, ridicule and trials to fullfilling her dream, not to mention she must deny being part of her family.
This book is a great book, heartwarming and fun. You should read this book, and it'll become a favorite book on your list.
Now, READ IT!! ;)
