★ "(A) magnificent, long overdue flight from history straight into the present." --Booklist, starred review

★ "Lang builds suspense with comparisons and questions.... Back matter includes photographs and further biographical details. Colón's harmonious palette is comprised, appropriately, of blues, yellows, and greens; his signature etched lines provide additional energy.... this title underscores the pilot's achievement and conveys her exhilaration." --School Library Journal, starred review

"Lang's portrait commemorates the centennial of Ruth Law's record-breaking flight from Chicago to New York....Effectively employing short, staccato phrases, Lang creates a riveting, "you are there" narrative.... Colón's rich compositions...use a primary palette of gold and charcoal brown, with layers of turquoise for water and sky....A well-crafted tribute to a fascinating aviation pioneer." --Kirkus Reviews

"Colón's etched artwork, glowing in autumnal yellows, shows Law flying above the Midwestern landscape... Lang keeps the focus on Law's determination... a visceral reminder of the daring of [Lang's] feat." --Publishers Weekly
