“A beautiful legend that speaks to our need as humans to share earth’s limited resources. Woodard is a fine story teller and succeeds in transporting us into a mythological time where animals and humans compete to survive, and a boy has the courage to convince others of the truth.”

Excitement starts early in this story of a brave, clever boy called Naa’ki, and the eagle with whom he bargains for his life. Danger, beauty, humor, and in the end, deep satisfaction. Flying is just a piece of what Naa’ki learns.
