Norcliffe, James The Boy Who Could Fly, 312 p. Egmont, 2010. $16.99.
Content: G (Sisters demonstrate rude behavior, but not offensive to reader. The only time there was violence in the book was when a person tries to kidnap and kill the Loblolly Boy with a jar of poisonous leaves. This scene is not frightening to the reader.)
A boy named Michael, an orphan, meets a strange boy called the Loblolly Boy. Michael magically changes into the Loblolly Boy. He gains the power of flight, but he can only have communicate with certain humans. He later meets his sisters Meg and Suzy who help him become himself again.
I liked this book because it was full of surprises. I didn’t like the way there was a gap in the long back-story.
