EVERYONE IN HIGH SCHOOL WONDERED WHO WOULD WIN THE FREE FLYING LESSONS?'Tomboy' Loretta Larkin excels in sports, but privately envies her popular blonde high school classmate, Elsie Wynn. When the new local airport announces an essay contest with flying lessons as the tempting prize, Rette decides to enter-and wins! She finds that learning to solo can be a way to not-soloing the prom. Betty Cavanna writes of teenagers with sure understanding of their inner lives and the high school scene. A Girl Can Dream was a Junior Literary Guild Selection. Before writing it Miss Cavanna herself took flying lessons and learned about 'stalls' and 'spins' from a flying instructor not unlike Pat Creatore. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

I did not find Rette to be one of Cavanna's best characters and frankly she irritated me a little. However good on her for not making it a huge deal that Rette wants to fly. So the book is quite progressive in that respect. Plus flying as a vehicle for a coming of age story is more original than a boy or a horse.
It is always amusing to read about the past and see how they think the future will be. Flying private planes did not take over from the car as our means of transport in the future. ( )
