Birch's grandfather has always wanted to fly all the way across the U.S. in his antique Piper Cub. But now that Birch's grandmother has died and he's moving into a retirement community, he's decided to sell the plane. As Birch and her mother help him pack up the house, it's obvious to Birch that his spirits as well as his time are running out. He's just not the same old Pop. Much to Birch's surprise, it's easy to convince Pop to take off on a short trip on the spur of the moment. How hard can it be to talk him into making the big one and taking Birch along? Birch leans about herself and her family in this heart-warming book.
