"Are me feet off the floor yet? Are me feet off the floor?" In a
rainy town in the north of England, there are strange goings-on.
Dad is building a pair of wings, eating flies, and feathering his
nest. Auntie Doreen is getting cross and making dumplings. Mr Poop
is parading the streets, shouting louder and louder, and even Mr
Mint, the head teacher, is getting in a flap. And watching it all
is Lizzie, missing her mam and looking after her dad and thinking
how beautiful the birds are. What's behind it all? It's the Great
Human Bird Competition, of course. Who will be the first to fly
across the River Tyne? David Almond's barmy, tender and funny tale
about wings and faith, written for the Young Vic to accompany their
production of Skellig. It has since been performed many times
around the world, and also adapted by Almond into a much-loved,
much-translated novel, with illustrations by Polly Dunbar.
