Kitty Hawk and the Hunt for Hemingway's Ghost is the exciting second installment in a new series of adventure mystery stories that are one part travel, one part history and five parts adventure. This second book in the series continues the adventures of Kitty Hawk, an intrepid teenage pilot who has decided to follow in the footsteps of her hero Amelia Earhart and make an epic flight around the entire world. After flying across North America Kitty's journey takes her down south to Florida where she plans to get a bit of rest and relaxation before continuing on with the rest of her long and grueling flight. As Kitty explores the strange and magical water world of the Florida Keys her knack for getting herself into precarious situations sweeps her headlong into the adventure of a lifetime involving mysterious lights, ancient shipwrecks, razor-toothed barracudas and even a sighting of the great Ernest Hemingway himself. This exhilarating story will have armchair explorers and amateur detectives alike anxiously following every twist and turn as they are swept across the landscape and history of the Florida Keys all the way from Key West to the strange and remarkable world of Fort Jefferson and the Dry Tortugas.
Kitty Hawk and the Hunt for Hemingway's Ghost is a perfect book to fire the imaginations of readers of all ages. Filled with fascinating and highly Google-able locations and history this book will inspire anyone to learn about and experience as much of our amazing world as they can - just like Kitty Hawk herself.
My review:-
In this book we follow Kitty Hawk as she prepares for her solo flight on her plane,De Havilland Beaver on the same date as Amelia Earhart,her ideal, started her own solo flight around the world in 1937 and then we travel along Kitty on her journey from Canada along different stops to finally land her in Fort Jefferson.
She, being the curious and adventurous Kitty Hawk, sets camp in the national park to relax and absorb the beautiful scenery. This is where she comes in contact with the ghost of Hemingway. The book pickd up pace soon enough and combining it with Iain's writing style ,you feel immersed in the story as if you were there yourself.
The book is greatly beneficial for young adults for its boatload of facts and materials that arr delivered in a fun way. Also, there is no romantic setup in the book and that is hard to find in a YA book nowadays so it makes it a perfect read for younger children.
This book is a standalone but you will have more fun if you start the series with the first book Kitty Hawk and the curse of Yukon Gold, an equally entertaining and captivating book.
In short, I loved this adrenaline filled, fast paced adventure and can't wait to read more of the Kitty Hawk series
