The Butler Eagle on Monday will launch the third installment of the Breakfast Serials program.

The program, which began in the paper in March 2004, features full-length stories geared toward younger readers.

Starting Monday, the Eagle will feature the story "Up in the Air: The Story of the Wright Brothers."

The story was written and illustrated by Brian Floca and follows the Wright Brothers from their youth to their first flight in 1903 to Wilbur Wright's public demonstrations of the plane in France in 1908. It also includes the triumphant moment at which the world first recognized Wilbur and Orville Wright as the inventors of the airplane.

Installments of the story, complete with illustrations, will run every Monday and Wednesday for the next nine weeks. The book has a total of 18 chapters. One chapter will be featured on each of the days the story appears.

The stories are designed for use in the classroom as part of Newspapers in Education programs.

Teacher guides for the stories are available by contacting the circulation department of the Eagle at 724-282-1859 or e-mail at circulation@butlereagle.com
