If you are looking for a book with non-stop action, then THE AMAZING FLIGHT OF DARIUS FROBISHER is a very good choice.

This book is about a boy named, appropriately enough, Darius Frobisher. Darius's father is a man that travels the world to very amazing places. A sad fact is that Darius's mother died when he was younger. While Darius's father is out, you may be wondering "who Darius is with, and what is he doing?" Well, most of the time Darius is making up trouble for Miss Hastings.

Miss Hastings is Darius's nanny, in a way, except they get into trouble together -- and Miss Hastings burns toast.

Anyway, when Darius's father goes on a hot air balloon ride and never comes back, Darius has to go live with his Aunt Inga (who is evil!). When Darius get there he finds something special that he just might be able to use to make a run for home -- and Miss Hastings -- where he can be happy again.

I give this book 4 stars for the really creative things the author does with this story! ( )

When his father fails to return after a hot-air balloon trip, 11-year-old Darius is sent to live with his nasty great-aunt Ida. Darius is determined to escape and find Miss Hastings, his housekeeper and friend. Darius takes a ride on a bike that Daedalus, an amateur scientist, modified so it can fly. All ends happily with Miss Hastings, Darius' rightful guardian, marrying Daedalus. Bill Harley has created an exciting story about a resilient hero who literally rises above adversity, retelling the myth of Daedalus to help readers better understand Darius' dilemma. While the book ends on a happy note, the disappearance of Darius' father is unresolved, leaving the door open for a sequel. Additional Selection. 2006, Peachtree Publishers, 176pp., $14.95 hc. Ages 9 to 12. ( )
