Description

From Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator Brian Pinkney comes a whimsical, high-flying picture book about a paperboy's fantastical adventure. A young paperboy Henry loves reading the comic strip "Falconman"--the superhero given flying abilities by a magical falcon. Then Henry runs across a sparrow with the same ability and suddenly takes off! Suddenly airborne, he delivers papers from above then realizes a bully is threatening his neighbors. This super-boy knows it's up to him to take the neighborhood under his wing!
