The Derby was a suspenseful, nail-biting race across the country, and Sheinkin brings to life the glory and grit of the dangerous and thrilling early days of flying. -- adapted from jacket Audience:  10-14.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 797.52 Sh Checked out 05/03/2024 Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library YA -- Nonfiction 797.52 Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 797.52 Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 797.52 Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 797.52 Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 797.52 Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 797.52 Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
