Penelope, Paige, Paxton, Parker, and their puzzle pals had a blast at summer camp learning about the science of flight from aerospace engineers. Now they're headed to an airplane factory to see where the engineers work.

Tag along on the best field trip ever as four friends explore aerospace engineering, the field responsible for one of the modern wonders of the world: air and space travel. The work is complex, but the goal is simple: make sure airplanes, rockets, and other flying machines take off, go where we want them to go, and land safely.

Through imaginative storytelling, lovable puzzle piece characters, and real-world engineering concepts, young readers discover how aerospace engineers solve problems, design innovative technologies, and help make flight possible. Along the way, Paige, Paxton, Penelope, and Parker learn that teamwork, creativity, and careful thinking are just as important as math and science in the engineering process.

Part of the STEM Adventures with Paige & Paxton series, this engaging adventure introduces children to fundamental STEM principles through the experiences of adorable puzzle piece characters who live, work, and play in the puzzle-shaped island nation of Puzzleland.
