About This Book

A boy and his mother arrive in a Florida river town and become entangled with an eccentric inventor and a group of young aviators who build experimental flying craft. Following trials and the formation of a small partnership, they launch a bold aerial cruise to a remote tropical key, where mechanical resourcefulness is tested by hostile islanders, strange birds, and the quest for a legendary pink pearl. The narrative mixes inventive aviation details, suspenseful escapes, and treasure-seeking adventure driven by courage and practical ingenuity.
