This week's pick is Flygirl by Sherri L. Smith.

Ida Mae Jones has dreamed of being a pilot for as long as she can remember. She's been flying her dad's plane for years, but no one is interested in giving an African-American woman a pilot's license. Then Pearl Harbor is bombed and the U.S. enters World War II, and a group called the Woman Airforce Service Pilots (the WASP) is created. Ida sees an opportunity to fly for real, and also help the war effort (which includes her brother, who has joined the army and was sent to the South Pacific). Could Ida join the WASP? And will she have to pretend to be white to do it?
