Flying Point Press

Unforgettable Stories of Personal Courage and Great Events in History.

We are a publishing company focused on non-fiction books for boys and girls ages ten to fifteen. We believe that books for young readers should be full of action and adventure, with real-life characters that are bold, active, and heroic. We are inspired by the philosphy of Living Books and the quality of the Landmark Books and have brought many of them back into print.
