As the Great Depression brought families and cities to their knees, fifteen-year-old Robert Shun Wong and his eleven-year-old brother Tommy, dreamed of flying. Money was tight, racial discrimination was high and times were tough. But in the heart of Vancouver's Chinatown, Robert and Tommy built a single-seat plane - a Pietenpol Sky Scout. Pushing the boundaries of their world, the two brothers were soon flying beyond their wildest dreams! This inspiring true story, lovingly crafted by Robert's daughter Evelyn Sue Wong and beautifully illustrated by artist Sarah Ang, will dare young readers to test their limits, set their eyes beyond the horizon and reach for the sky.
