Helo Girls®: The Air Ambulance Pilot by Kodey Bogart

Published:  February 24, 2026 by Blue Balloon Books

Taken from Amazon:  We need your help to locate the patient and find a safe place to land. You’re our observer! Can you spot the landing zone in the distance?

Assist Zuri and her air ambulance team as they save lives! As an air ambulance pilot, Zuri must respond swiftly to locate patients in remote areas and transport them to the hospital. All the while, her team, including a skilled medic, works urgently to keep the patient stable during the journey until they can connect with the ground medical team. In this interactive and educational story, discover what it takes to work on a medevac helicopter, from preflight safety checks to securing the patient in the aircraft.

In Helo Girls®: The Air Ambulance Pilot, board MED Flight One and support Zuri and her team on their critical mission to deliver a patient to safety. As the observer, you will find the patient, identify a safe landing zone, and be part of an urgent rescue. With engaging illustrations and exciting activities, The Air Ambulance Pilot is perfect for daring young readers eager to learn something new. Transport yourself into the world of aviation and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) and get ready for an air ambulance adventure!

My Thoughts: Helo Girls is a great series that empowers young girls (and boys) to look at careers that they may not be aware of.   An ambulance air pilot is not a job that is common.  I love that it tells of the responsibilities from before takeoff, getting a call, and handling the helicopter.

The illustrations in the book are large and easy to look at and see what is being told in the story.  The adventure of the story will keep young readers’ attention. 

I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to sharing with young girl readers.

Thank you Blue Balloon Books for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
