Phylicia (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fly Away Home: The Novelization and Story Behind the Film (Paperback)
I think this book was a very good book. I liked it because it was about a girl who helped migrate geese.Her father was a inventor so that made the book very interesting. I think this book was a very well written book. I would tell others to read this book.
