{"product_id":"the-simple-art-of-flying","title":"The Simple Art of Flying","description":"“Delightfully quirky.” —Kirkus Reviews\n\nPerfect for fans of The One and Only Ivan, this irresistible debut novel combines plucky humor and a whole lot of heart in a story about the true meaning of family.\n\nSometimes flying means keeping your feet on the ground…\n\nBorn in a dismal room in a pet store, Alastair the African grey parrot dreams of escape to bluer skies. He’d like nothing more than to fly away to a palm tree with his beloved sister, Aggie. But when Aggie is purchased by twelve-year-old Fritz, and Alastair is adopted by elderly dance-enthusiast and pie-baker Albertina Plopky, the future looks ready to crash-land.\n\nIn-between anxiously plucking his feathers, eating a few books, and finding his own poetic voice, Alastair plots his way to a family reunion. But soon he’s forced to choose between the life he’s always dreamed of and admitting the truth: that sometimes, the bravest adventure is in letting go.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1534420991\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1534420991.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Leonardo, Cory\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
