Summary: one of the best books around
Review: This is a beautiful and touching story, that should be read and loved by everyone. Georgie is a young girl living at a college near Walden pond. She is convinced she can learn to fly, and when she meets and befriends a goose, he teaches her. The understanding between the two and the lack of understanding of neighbors contrast childlike and adult thinking. The arising opposition between humans and nature is played out in its most harmful form, but doesn't leave you with a negative outlook. This is a FANTASTIC book for all readers!

Summary: Messages abound in this book of superb profound thoughts
Review: This is a must-buy, must-read book. It is readable by upper elementary children, but also a good read for adults. It provokes thoughtful reflections on our own lives, if we take the time to ponder what it implies, both for nature, for what one can accomplish, and for how one should see the world, and the natural environment. The wonders of nature that are out there, if one only takes the time to connect.

Summary: This book was pretty good
Review: This wasn't the best read ever. There wasn't exactly very much action. If you like cloaked plots and emotional stories, though, this is the book for you. The main character is Georgie, a strange-looking girl with wild dreams about flying. She believes that a Goose Prince is coming to teach her to fly. To find out if this is true, read The Fledgling!
