Goodreads Synopsis: 

This hilarious, heartfelt and soaring adventure will delight fans of 'The Goonies' and 'Indiana Jones'.

When their ace pilot parents (and adorable puppy) mysteriously disappear over the Pacific, the Flamingo Sisters - Flo, Faye, and Franny - escape the clutches of their evil Uncle Freidrich (who believes the girls should NEVER pilot aeroplanes) and join a flying circus. They soon become a smashing sensation, performing aerial acrobatics, wing walking and other death-defying feats in a dazzling biplane outfitted with three cockpits.

But when the girls discover a mysterious map - which may lead them to the long-lost family fortune - their dastardly uncle follows them on a thrilling chase in the skies. The Flying Flamingo Sisters must use wits, courage and derring-do to solve secret codes, trek through spooky jungles and save their parents. Not to mention themselves!

Review: 

This is a cute, short audiobook similar to the likes of the Lemony Snicket series. Three girls Flo, Faye, and Franny are part of the Flamingo family, a family of flyers. When their parents go missing flying across the Pacific, the girls realize it is up to them and their aeroplane skills to find them and bring them home safely. That is easier said than done though because their evil uncle has shown up claiming there is a flamingo fortune and he is there to find it!

While short, this audiobook was a cute and fun adventure with a lot of laugh out load fun bits throughout. It was a full-on adventure from beginning to end which made it easy to listen to and entertaining. The sisters are smart and cunning and stubborn at times but even in this fast-paced short book, they grow and learn about each other and their family as the story progresses. If you are looking for something fun to listen to on a family road trip, this would be a fun one to pick up.
