DESCRIPTION:
Ages 10-14. . From Publishers Weekly In a starred review, PW said, "Byars brings her knowledge of and enthusiasm for flying" to this novel about a 13-year-old girl and her grandfather, who travel cross-country in a Piper Cub. Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc
When Birch agreed to one last flight in her grandfather’s Piper Cub, neither knew it would be a life-changing tripBirch’s grandfather, “Pop,” wants to take his plane out for one more trip before moving into a retirement home. He wants to take Birch along with him, which sounds like a fine plan—until the two decide to turn the short flight into a cross-country adventure without telling Birch’s parents. As grandfather and granddaughter soar westward across strange, beautiful landscapes, Birch begins to learn more about her past, a grandmother she lost, and a family member she never knew she had. Coast to Coast is a grand adventure; a heartwarming story of family revelations; and a panoramic view of the United States by air. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Betsy Byars including rare images from the author’s personal collection.
Had to read for school Douglas Frink There are few books I read for school that I don't partially enjoy. This was the first exception. I hated this book! The character of the daughter is bratty and a control freak, while the grandfather seems to be to the daughter nothing more than a remembrance of the good old days. ()The children are VERY stereotypical and they are always feeling sorry for themselves. Another thing I noticed, the plot seems to get nowhere: (). My 5 year old loved this book Ben Ben My 5 year old was excited for me to read a few more chapters to her each night. She followed every detail of the story. The characters don't have the most cheerful outlook on life, so I docked it a star.. Cathy Ardman said great. Fast delivery, great item
