Rating: 5 / 5

This book is about
When Nadim brings back a model aeroplane from his holiday, he and Anneena go on a magic key adventure to a farm in America. They met twin brothers, Harold and Henry who were trying to build the first flying machine, but it went all wrong. Nadim and Anneena try to help the brothers design a better flying machine.

The main characters are
Nadim, Anneena and twin brothers, Henry and Harold

My favourite part of the book is
When the flying machine crashed into the statue of Abraham Lincoln, at the same the town people looked up to see the first flying machine in the sky. Also, when the brothers then decided to invent the first submarine.

I would also like to say
Mummy help me figure out that the book was set in North Carolina where Abraham Lincoln is from and the first Wright Brothers flight took place.
