Flight Test 101 by Amanda M. Thrasher is a heartwarming children's adventure that follows three young fairlings called Lilly, Boris, and Jack as they prepare for their first-ever flight test. We’re with them for this thrilling rite of passage, but it soon spirals into an unforgettable adventure filled with challenges that test not only their flying abilities but also their courage and the strength of their friendship. As they navigate tricky obstacles and surprising twists, the trio learns important lessons about teamwork, perseverance, and believing in themselves. Part of The Mischief Series, this tale offers young readers a joyful and meaningful story, perfect for independent reading or shared story time.
Author Amanda M. Thrasher has a way of bringing characters and ideas to life with such a warm and gleeful tone of voice, and this confident and engaging narrative style makes for a delightful blend of magic and moral lessons that encourages resilience and cooperation. Children’s books rarely strike the balance of moral lessons and great adventures as well as this one does. Lilly, Boris, and Jack’s experiences and attitudes contain those essential themes and emotional journeys naturally. The dialogue was a big help in getting these messages across playfully, with engaging characters and imaginative world-building to keep young readers’ interest piqued and waiting for the next twist. What results is a story where you feel invested in its heroes, told with warmth and clarity in a fun and affirming tone. Overall, I would certainly recommend Flight Test 101 as an ideal read for youngsters navigating real-life challenges who would enjoy a lively and warm-hearted fantasy tale.
