Product Description
The latest tale in award-winning author and illustrator Torben Kuhlmann's Mouse Adventures series takes flight with the courage and spirit of aviation pioneers. For the field mice, the boundary of the garden is the edge of the world. But one little field mouse is determined to discover the wide world beyond the burrow--even if she isn't supposed to fly. With her knack for engineering and help from an experienced mouse aviator, she defies the other field mice and sets off on a daring journey. Could it be that she inspired Amelia Earhart's pioneering aviation career? Amelia Earhart dreamed of becoming a pilot after she attended an airshow, and went on to defy gender barriers when she became the first female to fly non-stop across the Atlantic. Torben Kuhlmann's masterfully rendered illustrations and gripping story, inspired by Earhart, encourage young readers to pursue their passions-despite all obstacles. Includes nonfiction backmatter: a biography of Amelia Earhart, a description of her infamous flight and the myths around it, and a timeline of other successful flights around the world! "Adventure is worthwhile in itself." -Amelia Earhart
