"The Flying Girl and Her Chum" by L. Frank Baum is a fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around two adventurous girls, Orissa Kane, a skilled aviator known as the 'Flying Girl,' and her friend Sybil Cumberford. Their journey begins aboard a train to San Diego, where they are eager to participate in an aviation meet and experience the thrill of flying. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the main characters as they travel together, sharing their aspirations and backgrounds. They encounter various challenges on their journey, such as discussions about the world of aviation and the dynamics of wealth and fame represented by Madeline Dentry, another passenger on the train. Orissa, poised to showcase her flying skills, reveals her deep connection to aviation, born from a long apprenticeship under her brother Stephen, an ingenious aircraft inventor. As the opening chapters unfold, the groundwork is laid for an adventurous flight that will test their resolve and ingenuity, particularly when they find themselves stranded on an uncharted island after an aerial mishap.
