Great book. Thought provoking and real. The characters were so well developed and the internal conflicts Ida Mae experienced were painful and raw at times. I read this book in constant fear that she would be exposed. This is such an empowering book for young girls and I think every 5th+ grade girl could really benefit and learn from not just Ida Mae's experiences, but those of the other female pilots. These were all young women driven by their passions and dreams. My only complaint was that the ending left a bit to be desired. I wanted to know more. Maybe Sherri L. Smith will write a follow-up. I would definitely read it!
