Violet the Pilot

40 pp. | Dial | March, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8037-3125-7 $16.99
(4) K-3 Violet, ostracized for creating flying machines instead of being girly, hopes to earn respect by winning an air show. She misses the show when, en route, she rescues some boy scouts--which carries its own rewards. There's a message-y, plot-by-numbers aspect to the story for which the mixed-media illustrations, spotlighting Violet's inventions (the Bicycopter, the Pogo Plane), partly compensate.
