FLYGIRL Review

Flygirl by Sherri L. Smith

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is set in the United States during World War II and is about an African American girl named Ida Mae who must, in order to participate in the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) and serve her country, pretend to be white.

Ida Mae's struggles and triumphs made this book very interesting. Having to decide who she really was inside and who she wanted to become shaped Ida Mae's character, while challenging the reader to think about who they really want to be as well.
