Summary:

"On a lively street in the lovely city of Paris, a girl named A̕da glanced up and was dazzled by the sight of an airship. Oh, how she wished she could soar through the sky like that! The inventor of the airship, Alberto, invited A̕da to ride with him, but she didnt want to be a passenger. She wanted to be the pilot. A̕da was just a teenager, and no woman or girl had ever flown before. She didnt let that stop her, though. All she needed was courage and a chance to try."--provided by publisher.
