Gary, a grounded racing pigeon, dreams of exploring the world--until
the day he falls into an adventure of his very own.
Most of the time, Gary is just like the other racing pigeons, eating and
sleeping and dreaming of adventure. There's just one thing that
separates him from the ordinary pigeons: he can't fly. When his friends
set off in their travel basket, Gary expects to stay at home, organizing
his scrapbook of travel mementos and imagining far-off places. But when
he accidentally falls into the travel basket and ends up a very long way
from home, he discovers that flying might not be the only way to have
adventures. Leila Rudge, in her gentle, colorful style, is sure to charm
anyone who has ever felt like the odd one out with this satisfying story
of perseverance and being comfortable in your own skin.
