A young eagle struggles to remember who he is in this wonderful,
heartfelt tale written by husband-and-wife team William and
Elizabeth Hicks, whose hard work shines throughout the book.
Benjamin is one of three eaglet siblings who are attempting to ace
their first flying lesson. When a strong wind blows him off course
and knocks him against a cliff, he sustains injuries to his head
and wing. Disoriented, he lands in a haystack on a farm where he
meets a family of chickens and befriends Jeremy, the barnyard's
smallest rooster. Benjamin, now suffering from avian amnesia, has
no recollection of who he is or where he came from, and despite his
strange appearance, he and the other farm animals (a la The Ugly
Duckling) assume he's simply an odd-looking chicken. Ben spends his
time playing acornball with Jeremy and the other animals but yearns
for something greater and experiences recurrent primal urges to
fly. Soon Ben's increasingly radical behavior begins to ruffle the
feathers of Jeremy's father Humphrey, who fears he will corrupt and
endanger his son. Meanwhile, the barnyard contends with the ongoing
threat of the Egg-stealer, a mysterious, terrifying creature who
slinks into the barn at night to steal eggs that the hens have
intentionally left, hoping to appease it and prevent further
carnage. Ben is determined to end the reign of the Egg-stealer and
prove his worth to the community. Ben meets other creatures who
impart bits of wisdom that he doesn't fully understand but
nevertheless confirm his suspicion that life holds greater purpose.
He must find his way home all by himself - it's all part of the
plan to teach young Benjamin eagle independence and bravery. The
little eaglet is determined to find his purpose in the world and
why he just doesn't fit in. Wings is a very inspiring book weaved
with themes of wisdom, determination, and freedom. The novel is
written in such a way it fills readers with inspiration and hope
for poor Benjamin. This...
