From New York Times bestselling author and Newbery Award recipient
Steve Sheinkin, Born to Fly: The First Women's Air Race Across
America is the gripping true story of the fearless women pilots who
aimed for the skies--and beyond. Featuring illustrations by Bijou
Karman. Just nine years after American women finally got the right
to vote, a group of trailblazers soared to new heights in the 1929
Air Derby, the first women's air race across the U.S. Follow the
incredible lives of legend Amelia Earhart, who has captivated
generations; Marvel Crosson, who built a plane before she even
learned how to fly; Louise Thaden, who shattered jaw-dropping
altitude records; and Elinor Smith, who at age seventeen made
headlines when she flew under the Brooklyn Bridge. These
awe-inspiring stories culminate in a suspenseful, nail-biting race
across the country that brings to life the glory and grit of the
dangerous and thrilling early days of flying. From Steve Sheinkin,
the master of nonfiction for young readers who expertly unraveled
the infamous story of whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg and the
impeachment of Richard Nixon, comes the untold story of fearless
women who dared to fly. This title has common core connections. A
