The true-story adventure of Lindbergh's solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean comes to life in this early chapter book, perfect for young readers. In the 1920s, flying was brand new-and very dangerous. A $25,000 prize for the first flight from New York to Paris went unclaimed for years. Many teams tried. And many teams failed. Still, Charles Lindbergh felt he had a shot at the prize. He wasn't famous. He wasn't rich. But he was determined. He'd cross the ocean in a tiny plane . . . and he'd do it all by himself!
