Default Best instructional book for 12-year-old aspiring glider pilot?

Hi,

The book that I will start with when starting my kids is:

I especially like the wonderful illustrations in that book. One example is
available he

As mentioned, the Ken Stewart books are also very good. Here is one:

Both of those books are from the U.K., but work great for U.S. pilots. I
have them in stock.

Best Regards,

Looking to give my 12-year-old niece a book about learning to fly
gliders, prior to her starting lessons this summer. Any thoughts on
the most appropriate/accessible book for someone her age? Thanks--
