Bookroo's summary

Evaline Waters faces losing her home to a corporation eager to build a warehouse. The only hope lies in a missing zoning document. Nancy, amidst flying lessons with Frank Beltrano, must juggle her aerial adventures and a high-stakes land battle. Can she uncover the truth before Evaline's land is lost forever? As the skies beckon, so does the mystery on the ground. Will Nancy's sleuthing skills soar to new heights, or will the corporation's plans take flight first?

From the publisher

It looks like Evaline Waters, a River Heights resident, is knee-deep in trouble. A huge corporation is suing her for her land; they want to tear down her house and put up a warehouse. And documentation of the zoning law that would protect Evaline’s right to keep her land is missing. Figures! I’ve got to find that document, but it’s hard to focus on the land when I’m cruising at ten thousand feet. See, Ned and I are taking flying lessons, him with Colonel Lang, a friend of his family, and me with Frank Beltrano, an instructor at our local airport. It’s a good thing I’m good at juggling more than two balls at once. Too bad I’m not the only one.
