{"product_id":"wings-christopher-myers-9780590033770","title":"Wings","description":"Are you brave enough to be your true self? Ikarus Jackson is, but it isn't always easy. The people in his neigborhood point at his wings. The kids at school laugh. The teachers call him a distraction.One girl identifies with Ikarus, but she is too shy to speak up for herself, let alone for him. Maybe I should have said something to those mean kids, she thinks, when their taunts send him drifting into the sky. Inspired by Ikarus's own courage, she sets out in search of him and so begins her own journey of self discovery -- leaving both of them transformed.\"I wanted to create a book that tells kids never to abandon the things that make them different, to be proud of what makes them unique. Every child has his own beauty, her own talents. Ikarus Jackson can fly through the air; I want kids to find their own set of wings and soar with him.\" -- Christopher Myers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Myers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0590033778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780590033770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scholastic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.34h x 7.97w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e43566 \/ Wings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e North Carolina Children's Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2000 pg. 1754\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/11\/2000 pg. 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Issues Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2000 pg. 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2000 pg. 1360\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2000 pg. 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/30\/2000 pg. 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/19\/2000 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/11\/2000 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/03\/2000 pg. 87\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist Ed Choice Adu Bk YA's\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2001 pg. 864\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2001 pg. 1152\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eALA Notable Children's Books\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2001 pg. 1378\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2000 pg. 65 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2001 pg. 65 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/08\/2000","brand":"Christopher Myers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44049127211263,"sku":"9780590033770","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7bdf3c70-7548-4083-aa49-10822de5c0ac.jpg?v=1684999788","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wings-christopher-myers-9780590033770","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
