30 ADVENTURERS OF THE SKY

“30 Aventuriers du ciel” | Sophie Bordet-Pétillon & Emmanuelle Halgand | Paulsen Jeunesse | 136pp | 19 x 25 cm

For boys and girls who dream of taking to the skies.

Louis managed to cross a sea in a plane, Dorine opened up flying to the disabled, Pascal skimmed cliffs with his helicopter, Bessie fought to be the first black woman to obtain her pilot’s licence, Chuck broke the sound barrier in a supersonic plane… Whether in a hang glider, space shuttle or wingsuit, the lovers of the skies in this book have flown over magnificent landscapes, broken records or invented new flying machines.

From the North Pole to the stratosphere, from the Andes Mountain range to Australia, our 30 sky adventurers have chosen to take to the skies to carve out their path between storms and clouds, with poetry or courage, driven by a desire to travel, to help their fellow man or to share the passion that has driven them since childhood. Their extraordinary journeys will take you into a new dimension and introduce you to a world of thrilling sensations!
