Lola Flies Alone

Awarding-winning author Bill Richardson and illustrator Bill Pechet team up again with Lola Flies Alone, a delightful story about a young airline passenger who has even more imagination than she has style?and she has plenty of that. Lola?s first unaccompanied flight is beset by problems, but whether it be mermaids in a wading pool blocking the runway or a ballerina doing plies in the aisle, Lola has the solution. A delightful tale about being ?good and kind and generous and brave?, it?s a reminder that brave and stylish girls can always save the day.
