In a small 1950s town, a young girl stricken with polio finds a mysterious object that allows her to do amazing and magical feats. But the object is being pursued by a mystery man and by government agents who are leaning into the fear of communism to bully their hunt along. With tinges of "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street," the paranoid classic episode of The Twilight Zone, and art that pays homage to Hergé's Tintin, Liam Francis Walsh spins an exciting little tale about a dark time in American history. (Another project! I'm trying to read all the picture books and graphic novels on the kids section of NPR's Books We Love 2022.) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

"In the aftermath of the Korean War, Peggy's small hometown is rife with anti-Communist hysteria. But Peggy has bigger problems: She's struggling to recover from polio. Taunted by her classmates, Peggy just wants to be a normal kid, until she stumbles across a mysterious object that gives her the power to fly. Unscrupulous operatives from the American and Soviet governments seek the object to overturn the tense political stalemate, and Peggy finds herself smack in the middle of the Cold War arms race."--Provided by publisher.
