"A rocketbike, a secret workshop, a super secret flyer, and a giant smiling pig balloon...maybe Iowa won't be boring after all..." Brian is disappointed when his family moves from Seattle to the Midwest. His parents are developing a material called plasti-steel that could revolutionize the aerospace and transportation industries. He loves skateboarding and encounters Wendy - a boarder and and her bully brother Frankie on his first day at the skatepark. He does make friends with Alex and Max and together they refine and fly an experimental plane. This one should especially appeal to our young men readers.
