No one can explain why Ian has sprouted wings—or adjust to their huge batlike appearance. With family and friends hostile about his situation, only Anita Pickens provides Ian with the will to use his wings and to survive his ultimate decision to have them removed. Ian “is worth getting to know, and his situation is one that has intrigued children and storytellers from the days of Icarus.” —C.
