House of Wings

When Sammy must spend weeks alone with his grandfather, he learns that the old man isn't quite as boring as he thought . . . When his parents leave for Detroit, Sammy is left alone with his out-of-touch grandfather in a dull, creaky house. All Sammy wants to do is run away to rejoin his folks. But Grandpa's world holds a few surprises, including a majestic crane found in the woods with a broken wing. Sammy finds himself seeing his grandfather's world through new, wild eyes. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Betsy Byars including rare images from the author's personal collection.
