From Booklist
Gr. 4^-7. Up-to-date full-color photographs, as well as old black-and-while photos and illustrations, highlight this brief description of the sport of soaring. Soaring terms are defined for the reader, offering opportunities for the explanation of such basic physics principles as lift, thrust, and drag. Readers will be introduced to a brief history of gliders, their physical description, their recreational uses, and even their lucrative competitions. Like other First Books, the content and reading levels of this title in the First Books: Sports and Recreation series are deceptively complex in spite of its "first" moniker. Upper-elementary-school and early-middle-school readers will be fascinated by the beauty and subtle danger of the sport. All that's missing is a detailed diagram of a glider with its (albeit) simple parts labeled. Glossary, bibliography, Internet sites. Frances Bradburn
