Born to Fly is a book about a girl named Bird McGill who lives in a small town. She and her father are very close to each other because they both share a common interest. They both love flying airplanes. Bird is pretty good at flying them but still working on how to land them safely on the ground.

At the same time, they are trying not to get their families killed by the strange man. When they find enough evidence, they tell others and the strange man is fond and the uncle is saved! I enjoyed this book because it shoe that no matter who you are, you can do anything you want. Also, if you really want something done and don’t give up, you can do it! I would recommend this book to people who don’t think they can do anything and
