About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels restricted by the rules of being small and longs for the agency of a 'big kid' adventure. It is an ideal pick for children who are fascinated by how things work but also possess a vivid, magical imagination. The story follows ten-year-old twins Casey and Lacey as they use a bit of magic to turn a model airplane into a full-sized flying machine, embarking on a daring cross-country journey. While the book captures the nostalgic feel of classic aviation, it focuses on the emotional growth of the siblings as they navigate fear and solve problems together. It is a gentle, high-action tale that celebrates independence and sibling bonds, making it perfect for independent readers in late elementary school who need a boost of confidence in their own capabilities.
