This is such a wonderful children's book. I love the message in it - how books can help us fly. Had I read this as an elementary or middle schooler, I know it would've been a favorite of mine.
Is fairly typical book aimed at elementary school kids - we get a a fairly simple plot, fairly standard characters, a bit of learning and of course, a mystery.
