Alcock and Brown and the Boy in The Middle
By: George
M. Morgan
Illustrated by Jennifer
Morgan
The year is 1919
and like the rest of St. John's, eight-year-old Ralph is caught up in
the excitement and adventure of the latest attempt to cross the Atlantic
Ocean by air. Alcock and Brown, two British flyers, are preparing for
the flight in the field next to Ralph's home and although no one has
yet been successful, they are confident that they will win the coveted
London Daily Mail prize of £10,000.
Amid all the
excitement, Ralph learns from Mr. Brown that in spite of having to use a
cane, he can accomplish much and from his mother he learns that
diligence has its reward.
