Welcome to Litsy!

My local bookstore asks me to contribute reviews for their newsletter and handed me this one. I wasn‘t sure what to expect when I opened the book, but from page one…wow. Just wow. This is an adrenaline-filled rollercoaster ride, filled with terror and red herrings and so many surprises. Underneath it all is a statement regarding first impressions and the way we tend to not think how our blasé look at world events impacts others. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

“The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity.“

Awesome book highlighting the life of Amelia Earhart!

This biography talks about the life of Amelia Earhart who was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. It talks about her dreams and her disappearance during her flight around the world.

“Flying might not be plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.”

This biography introduces young readers to Amelia Earhart's adventurous spirit, showing how she overcame societal expectations to become a record breaking aviator.

Use this book to encourage students to think about overcoming challenges and following their dreams, regardless of obstacles. They could draw their own flight path for their aspirations.

“flying, like a bird. So free. The wind flyers could go anywhere.“ This quote shows the true passion of flying.

I would sue this book when teaching WW2.

Wind flyers is a historical fiction book that was published in 2007. A young African American boy tells the story of his great-great-uncle, who realized his dream of flying by becoming a Tuskegee Airman during World War II.
