Summary: OK, But not a "High Flyer" in my book.
Review: I read this book in about 3 1/2 hours. I had previously read one other "History Mystery" book about 3 years ago when I was in 4th grade. The plot of the story is this:
12 year old Pam Lowder hates school. She especially hates her worst enemy, Henry. When she discovers that her prize winning pigeons with the rare ability to "home" at night are missing, she is furious, and the mysterious Mr. Arminger, a new man in town with a German accent, is a prime suspect. (The whole town believes that he is a German spy, it is World War I) Pam must collect her wits and, well, do something about it.

I really enjoyed this book and I've read almost all of the history mysteries and this is one of the best ones there are!

Summary: The Night Flyers
Review: Pam Lowder is a twelve-year-old girl with a special gift for handling animals. She and her father raise the best homing pigeons on the North Carolina coast. One reason they are the best is that her father has developed a way to train their birds to fly at night. But the year is 1918. Pam's father is a soldier in World War I and is far away in Europe. When a stranger with a foreign accent shows up in the area, some people suspect he is a spy. Pam becomes even more suspicious when the stranger offers her a lot of money for her pigeons and, after she refuses to sell, the birds start disappearing.This entry in the "history mystery" series won an award for best children's mystery of the year 2000. My daughter still likes "The Smuggler's Treasure" best of the six books that we have now completed in this series, but I can vouch for the fact that she has enjoyed them all. Like all the others, this one gives the young reader an appealing young heroine, an engaging story, and some solid historical background. All in all, a very good book for girls in the 9 to 12 age group. Highly recommended.
