What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

It is early in the twentieth century, and, to most, the idea of human flight is ludicrous–with good reason. There have been many failed flying attempts. Still, the Wright brothers will not let their dreams die. They brave heavy winds and rain, sandstorms, and tough crashes–all in an effort to build the first successful flying machine.In this engaging and dynamic graphic novel format, award-winning author Bob Burleigh has collaborated with Bill Wylie to re-create a gripping tale of trial, error, and, ultimately, triumph.
