Taking Flight: My Story

Summary: This book is absolutely great!
Review: Hi!. My name is Peter. Our Dad takes us flying in a Cessna 180 and I can tell you that Vicki really captures the spirit and adventure of aviation.

My Dad let us stay up late several nights because we just couldn't put this book down. During the day, I even took it to nursery school.

I really liked the part about how Vicki keeps flying the plane even when she gets airsick in all the turbulence.

She makes my sister and me want to live a life full of adventure. We think Vicki is a great girl. She is amazing.

By following her story, she will inspire you to do amazing things, too.

Summary: It Rocks!
Review: I really enjoyed this book because I want to become a pilot when I am old enough. It was a book that once I picked it up, I just couldn't put it down! Once it even made me have to (or want to; more likely want!) go to sleep at 12 Midnight! I found it when reshelving books at school and I just couldn't wait to start reading it. (which was around lunchtime) I really hope you enjoy it and good luck to/in your possible aviation career from being inspired from this book. I have wanted to fly for a while! Bye. (or an even better thing:buy!)

Review: I'm a boy who has always been interested in flight. This is a great book because it really leads you through all of the experiences Viki Van Meter had. I could almost see Greenland from the cockpit of the plane! This book was so good that I want to take flying lessons. I think that anybody that is interested in what it is like to fly should read this book. Like I said before it's GREAT!

Review: This book was about a girl who was just a normal girl who liked to do regular girl things. But then, no one ever imagined that she would do anything like this. One day there was a opening at an airport for someone to fly a plane if he or she wanted to. She signed up, and then after her first three lessons, they didn't even need to talk about it; she was going to become a pilot. She got more lessons, and then made a 3,000 mile crossing from Maine to California, the most challenging trip because it was from East to West. After she had made that flight she made another goal to shoot for. Making a trip across the Atlantic ocean. This as I understand was the hardest part of her journy. When she was in Pennsulvania, one of the men asked her to keep this bottle of water of the Atlantic ocean with her on the plane, and pour it into the Pasific ocean when she got there. When she got there and poured the water in, she picked up some Pasific water so she could complete the circle when she came back to Pennsulvania. She wants to become a aircraft pilot, and when she's 16 she is very likely to become a small plane pilot and take journy's all over the world. Good luck Vicki!
