Rule 2: A Station Mouse must never go out in the daytime.

During World War II, black Americans were fighting for their
country and for freedom in Europe, yet they had to endure a totally
segregated military in the United States, where they weren't
considered smart enough to become military pilots. After acquiring
government funding for aviation training, civil rights activists
were able to kickstart the first African American military flight
program in the US at Tuskegee University in Alabama. While this
book details thrilling flight missions and the grueling training
sessions the Tuskegee Airmen underwent, it also shines a light on
the lives of these brave men who helped pave the way for the
integration of the US armed forces.
Just over 130 years ago, there were no cars in the world. Today,
there are more than a billion of them! This book investigates how
the invention of the automobile has dramatically changed our lives.
It goes right back to the earliest examples and traces the story
through to the great range of models available today. Find out what
makes an engine turn, how the engine moves the wheels, and how
wheels grip the road. Learn about cars powered by electricity, jet
engines, or solar energy. This book will take young readers on a
thrilling journey of discovery.
