Charlie Sparrow and the Book of Flight — David Anderson

Charlie Sparrow is the only bird in Tree City who can fly, but Mayor Peck insists he's faking it. When Charlie learns of a book proving the truth about flight, he leaves Tree City to find it, facing a sharp-beaked thug and a den of mythical bird-eating creatures with claws and whiskers. With the help of his friends, Charlie discovers deeply held secrets about the mayor that must be exposed for the citizens of Tree City to wake up to their birthright--flight.

Charlie Sparrow's adventure continues in this chapter book for kids ages 6-9 with over fifty illustrations.
