| Summary |
"Around the World in Ten Days" by Chelsea Curtis Fraser is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows two young American boys, Paul and Bob, who are inspired by an upcoming worldwide air derby and the rapidly advancing field of aviation. With their brilliant idea of constructing their own airplane, the Sky-Bird II, the boys aim to participate in an adventure that not only pushes the boundaries of aviation but could also lead them to surprising discoveries and life-changing experiences. At the start of the story, we meet Paul Ross and Robert Giddings, who learn about an air derby set to occur that summer, prompting dreams of adventure and competition. As the boys discuss the challenges of air travel, they encounter a variety of characters, including a troubled former pilot. Equipped with youthful ambition, they collaborate on the design of the Sky-Bird II, a revolutionary aircraft they hope will redefine the limits of flying. The narrative sets the stage for their exciting journey, filled with technical innovations and personal growth, as they navigate obstacles both in the skies and within their own lives.
