A fast paced children’s 160 page chapter book chronicling the adventures of Ruthie B. Goose, a young bar-headed goose, as she pursues her dream to fly higher than any bird has ever flown.
Excerpt
“! tuo hctaW. (Watch out!),” cried Backwards Bob. It was too late; the firework exploded a foot or so behind the group.
Backwards Bob, who saw the firework coming, dove to his right, Perfect Jen and The Answer followed him. Backwards Bob fell on Perfect Jen who fell on The Answer making a Perfect Jen sandwich. The Answer and Backwards Bob were the bread and Perfect Jen was the filling. KT fell forward tripping over The Answer’s out stretched foot before catching her balance.
And Ruthie B. Goose. Ruthie B. Goose nearly jumped right out of her feathers. She leaped in the air, flapped her wings as hard as she could and that little girl took off in flight!!!!
“Ruthie! You’re flying! You’re really flying!” cried KT.
“Well, what do you know Penguin? You are flying,” screamed Perfect Jen in disbelief.
“You did it. You did it. You finally did it,” said The Answer.
“Up and away you go!” Evan said in his Incredible Hawk voice.
“ylF!!! ylF!!! lrig oG (Fly! Fly! Go girl!),” said Backwards Bob from the bottom of the Perfect Jen sandwich.
“Well, what do you know? I am flying,” Ruthie said to herself as she rose a few feet off the ground. “I knew I could,” she called out to her friends calmly. Inside she could hardly contain her excitement.
