(4) 4-6 Biographies for Young Readers series. In 1964, thirty-eight-year-old Ohio mother-of-three Geraldine "Jerrie" Mock became the first woman to fly solo around the world in her tiny Cessna, a single-engine airplane, stopping only briefly in exotic locations during the month-long, 23,000-mile trip. Archival photos, document reproductions, and sidebars (varying in relevancy) accompany a mostly engaging account that will inspire young readers interested in aviation. Timeline. Bib., glos.
