Flying Ace

***CANADA BOOK AWARD WINNER***

***BRUNEAU FAMILY AWARD FOR CHILDREN’S/YOUNG ADULT LITERATURE LONGLIST***

Errol the adventurous little mouse takes to the sky when he meets a young girl, Natasha, playing with a toy airplane. Later, when Errol is left alone, he decides to fly Natasha’s toy plane and begins a magical journey that takes him back in time to one night in 1940. He meets up with Dan, a radio operator on a full-sized Hudson bomber, and gets to accompany the crew on their late night, top-secret flight across the Atlantic. When an enemy plane appears over Ireland and threatens the safety of crew and craft, only Errol can save them from disaster.

Sheilah Lukins has written three non-fiction books for adults and two children’s books.
