From School Library Journal
Gr 6 Up-- Stunt kites are sturdy and generally easy to get off the ground, but difficult to fly with precision; they use two flying lines rather than one, and their extraordinary maneuverability has sparked a rapidly growing number of festivals and competitions, semi-pros, teams, and imaginative feats. With infectious enthusiasm, the authors briskly cover history and basic techniques; profile prominent designers and fliers; outline common maneuvers, competition rules, and safety precautions; list books, videos, and prime places to fly in the U.S. and Canada; and finish up with a chart rating dozens of kite models and a glossary of kiters' jargon. All of this is accompanied by small black-and-white photographs that seldom feature children and don't begin to do the sport justice. Kite builders will have to look elsewhere for specific instructions (many stunt-kite designs are patented, anyway), but novice fliers and old hands both stand to learn plenty from this breezy survey. --John Peters, New York Public Library
