The Fledgling

Resource Type

Book - Child

Description

"Georgie lives in an unconventional household, but even her rather unusual family does not truly understand her intense belief that she can fly. Then a Canadian goose enters her life. His are the guiding wings that allow Georgie to fulfill her dream. However, there are dreams there are always those who, lacking imagination, will seek to destroy them in the name of common sense. Georgie discovers this to her sorrow, yet learns that in opening the sky to her, her friend has truly given her the world. The gentle, exquisite story by Jane Langton was a Newbery Honor book. It speaks of that tentative step from the innocence of childhood to the acceptance of growth and change." From School Library Journal
