A childhood favorite re-visited.
Is the story as good as I remember? Yes
What ages would I recommend it too? Twelve and up.
Length? Three hours to read.
Characters? Memorable, several characters.
Setting? Real world, 1970's maybe?
Written approximately? 1980.
Does the story leave questions in the readers mind? Ready to read more. Does the uncle survive? Does the Debbie's vision improve? Did she wreck the plane? Did she ever fly again?
Any issues the author (or a more recent publisher) should cover? No.
Short storyline: Debbie goes on a flight with her uncle. A bird crashes through the windshield and knocks him out. She has to fly without sight and land the plane.
Notes for the reader: This is an excellent book I read as a kid, 30 years ago. Even show more now, it means far more to me. It is an excellent story that describes and shows how people see and move through the world differently. I believe everyone should read this story. show less
