Synopsis
Christina and her cousin Will have escaped their childhood home, Flambards, and gone to London to fulfill Will's ambition to design and pilot airplanes. Caught up in the events surrounding the onset of World War I, they discover that ambition doesn't equal success, and that the highs of one day can be followed by the depths of despair in the next. English rather than U.S. vocabulary, spelling and punctuation.

In this second in the Flambards series, Christina and Will are living in a city and Will is working on planes. The rise of aeronautics and motor cars and the relationships of the young adults in the period just before WWI is well told.
