As the Great Depression brought families and cities to their knees, Robert Shun Wong and his younger brother Tommy, dreamed of flying. Money was tight, racial discrimination was high and times were tough. But in the heart of Vancouver's Chinatown, the two brothers built a single-seat plane - a Pietenpol Sky Scout. Pushing the boundaries of their world, Robert and Tommy were soon flying beyond their wildest dreams!

This inspiring true story, by Robert's daughter Evelyn Wong, tells of the pioneering years in aviation and the incredible contributions made by the Chinese Canadian community. Reach for the Sky invites young readers to test their limits and set their eyes beyond the horizon.
