3.0 out of 5 stars Review of Fly Away Home, March 27, 2000

By	Phylicia (New York City) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fly Away Home . . ., September 15, 1999

By A Customer

Wanderfull ! I have just bought this book at the store just five houers ago and I am already on page 63 ! This is a story of Amy and her birds . Amy finds some eggs near her house . Rescues them and helps them hatch . She then asks her dad if she can keep her Gooslings and he says yes . But the problem is that they are sooner or later going to want to fly south and they need someone to show them how . Will Amy be able to teatch her geese to follow her dad before It's to late ?
