Kitty Hawk and the Curse of the Yukon Gold is the thrilling first installment in a new series of adventure mystery stories that are one part travel, one part history and five parts adventure. This first installment of the Kitty Hawk Flying Detective Agency Series introduces Kitty Hawk, an intrepid teenage pilot with her own De Havilland Beaver seaplane and a nose for mystery and intrigue. A cross between Amelia Earhart, Nancy Drew and Pippi Longstocking, Kitty is a quirky young heroine with boundless curiosity and a knack for getting herself into all kinds of precarious situations.

I wanted to like this book so badly. I LOVED the premise. Nancy Drew with an airplane! But it just wasn't what I hoped. There were too many places where the plot and story structure didn't work for me. But it's gotten some decent reviews on Goodreads. Anyone else on here read it?

Kitty Hawk and the Curse of the Yukon Gold by Iain Reading is the first book in new middle grade adventure series about a gutsy and independent young pilot. The adventure in this book comes from gold, thieves, a kidnapping, and an old curse rooted in Alaskan history. My favorite aspects of the book are the historical and natural descriptions of Alaska and the gold rush.
