Overview

The magical and moving story of a bird like boy who longs to fly.

Ten-year-old Nashville doesn't feel like he belongs with his family, in his town, or even in this world. He was hatched from an egg his father found on the sidewalk and has grown into something not quite boy and not quite bird. Despite the support of his loving family, Nashville wishes more than anything that he could join his fellow birds up in the sky. The trouble is- He hasn't grown wings, which must surely make his dream impossible.

And yet, in this lyrical novel with the feel of a timeless fable, Michelle Cuevas manages to convince us that, actually, anythingis possible.

'This is an impossibly lovely tale - but then, as Nashville, the soaring heart of this exquisite novel, learns, nothing is impossible when you follow your dreams. Beyond the Laughing Skyis a triumph.' Katherine Applegate, Newbery Award-winning author of The One and Only Ivan
