As the Great Depression brought families and cities to their knees, fifteen-year-old Robert Shun Wong dreamed of flying. Money was tight, racial discrimination was high and times were tough. 

But in the heart of Vancouver's Chinatown, Robert built a single-seat plane - a Pietenpol Sky Scout. Pushing the boundaries of his world, Robert was soon flying beyond his wildest dreams! 

This inspiring true story, lovingly crafted by Robert's daughter Evelyn Sue Wong and beautifully illustrated by artist Sarah Ang, will dare readers to test their limits, set their eyes beyond the horizon and reach for the sky.
