The fledgling

The Fledgling is truly amazing! I think that every book is unique in its own way, and this book is definately in my top ten favorite book list. This book is so wonderful that it makes you feel as if you could talk to geese and fly, but only while you're reading it, and that's why it's great. This book is so amazing and wonderful. My friends say that this book is ha ha funny because this girl (Georgie) talks to a goose,flies with a goose, and keeps hurting herself because she jumps of a staircase thinking she can fly. I must admit that at some points it was funny, but I like books that make you laugh. ...it's my #5 favorite book, and that's not bad. So I truly truly truly recomend this book.

The Fledgling is about a girl named Georgie who lives in Concord, Massacusetts. She lives with her mother, her mother's husband Freddy, and Freddy's nephew and neice, Eddy and Eleanor.Georgie is sure that she can fly. She is always trying, and always hurting herself. But Georgie is very small for her age, so is it possible . . .?Then a giant Canada goose starts taking Georgie away to Walden Pond in the middle of the night to give her flying lessons.To see what happens, read this book!

The Fledgling is a delightful tale of a young girl desperate to fly....living near Walden Pond, she meets with a goose who befriends her as an equal and together - they fly. However, as the book draws to a close, they are in danger........This book is a wonderful story to read for everyone no matter how old or how young they are. It draws you in from the first page and doesn't let you go until the last!

I loved this book. It's a story of a girl who discovers she could fly. One night when a Canada goose came to her window she climbed on its back and went off with him to learn how to really fly. But, Ralph wants to stop her from flying, he wants to stop the lovely Goose Prince from coming. Chelsea - 10 years old

This book is so fantastic. It has all the qualities I consider appealing to non-committal fantasy readers. A young girl searching for something, a goose prince, a magic present and some characters that oppose all that the main character does. Georgie is a young girl who is a little out of the loop of day to day life, seeing as how she lives near a place called Walden pond, this is no surprise. Georgie starts believing that she can fly and actually injures herself a couple of times. Truth be told she really can with her goose prince who seems to have been drawn to Georgie. There is an awful lady who lives next door. She plants shrubbery with thorns on them to keep children out of her yard. She has seen Georgie flying and opposes this very much. This story becomes a tumult between nature and man , childhood beliefs and adulthood notions. I would highly recommend this book to any age person. In the begiining of the book there is a quote from Thoureau's Walden to bring the natural connection to this book even closer. There is more here than meets the eye.
