Gypsy Flight: A Mystery Story for Girls
1935
In 1935, the sky belonged to the daring. Rosemary Sample is a stewardess, one of the first women to work aboard passenger aircraft, and she loves nothing more than the thrill of flight and the strangers who board her plane with secrets tucked in their pockets. When the urgency of a young man named Danby Force wins him a seat, Rosemary finds herself caught between two passengers: a dark woman with a suspicious bag and a fortune-telling gypsy girl whose eyes seem to see too much. As the plane climbs and the ground shrinks below, mystery unfolds at thirty thousand feet. What is Danby running from? What does the dark woman conceal? And why does the gypsy girl keep glancing at Rosemary with knowing intensity? This is an airplane mystery before airport security, before cell phones, when solving a puzzle meant sharp eyes, quick thinking, and nerves of steel. Snell delivers a period piece that captures the romance of early aviation alongside a spunky heroine who refuses to stay grounded when danger calls.
