Another Texas Bluebonnet Award 2011-2012 Nominee, The Hallelujah Flight by Phil Bildner is a great book to introduce historical fiction to younger readers. The story is based on historical information about James Banning, the first African American to complete a transcontinental flight. Lovely illustrations by John Holyfield enhance the story. (grades 2-5)
