This book takes a fun look at a typical week in the life of a pilot. It is written in the form of a first-person diary and looks at some of the key skills that a pilot needs and how they became a pilot. The endmatter includes a spread on how readers can start their own diary.
I’m interested in science because it helps us to understand the world. I enjoy finding out about new things and then working out how to write about them in a way that is both clear (and accurate) but which also conveys my own excitement and interest. I particularly like writing books that are fun, and I have been lucky to have had so many chances to do so.
I was born in Yorkshire in England, but grew up in Stranraer, a small town in south-west Scotland. I graduated from Edinburgh University and then came down to London, where I have lived ever since. I enjoy reading novels, watching films, and walking in the countryside.
The fiction book I am pairing with this is "Violet the Pilot" by Steve Breen. This is about a young girl who loves anything and everything that has to do with inventing and flying. his book pairs well because the story is all about a young girl who wants to be a pilot and prove that she can do it.
