Maggie is a young girl living in a small country town. She loves to play, and she loves adventure. But unlike most young girls, Maggie has a grandfather who flies airplanes across the country and around the world. Maggie's favorite place is the country airport where she watches people come and go in their small colorful airplanes. She is fascinated by this and wonders if, like her grandfather, she might learn to fly too. Maggie's Big Surprise tells us a story of a young girl who realizes that she too can make her dreams come true and surprise her favorite grandfather with a truly unusual gift.
