Daredevil: The Daring Life of Betty Skelton

48 pp. | Simon/Wiseman | June, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4424-2262-9 $16.99
(2) K-3 In the 1940s, Betty Skelton wanted to become a commercial pilot or to fly in the navy, but those avenues were closed to females, so she went on to aerobatic flying, always accompanied by her dog, Little Tinker. The sometimes choppy prose is balanced by a soaring tale, brought to life in illustrations featuring charming bug-eyed characters and a vivid palette. Timeline. Bib.
Reviewer: Dean Schneider | Horn Book Magazine Issue: May, 2013
