An entertaining and contemporary autobiography.?Rosalyn Pierini, San Luis Obispo City-County Library, CAĬopyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. Technical lingo is kept to a minimum, and aeronautical terms, when used, are clearly explained. Additionally, readers will enjoy sharing in some of Vicki's instant-celebrity episodes and a few hair-raising flying crises. Her supportive family, school, and community also send an upbeat message.
Nevertheless, Vicki is a wonderful role model for children. These abrupt interruptions may prove confusing to readers and don't add greatly to the book. The continuity of her story, however, is disrupted by inclusions of comments from family and others involved in her adventures. Throughout her account, Vicki proves herself to be an interesting, likable, and goal-oriented youngster. She was interested in becoming an astronaut so flying proved to be a good fit for her, and gradually her ambitions were born. The accomplished young aviatrix begins her first-person narrative by recounting how, at age 10, her father suggested she take flying lessons. Grade 4-8?At 12, Vicki Van Meter became the youngest girl to have ever flown across both the continental U.S.
The author describes her introduction to flying and offers details of her cross-country and transatlantic flights, how she survived two mid-air emergencies, and her overnight fame
