Addie Earns Her Wings

By Gary Goskowski

This is a feel-good story revealed through the eyes and deeds of realistic animal characters, who strive to overcome the lingering aftereffects of a natural disaster. Whimsical dialogue is intertwined with numerous rhymes, homonyms and idioms to both entertain the young reader and expand their vocabulary. The positive, up-lifting passages subtly woven into the "knotty" plot of this novel will enable children to learn how to effectively deal with harsh realities during their own lives.

Driven from her home and then separated from her parents, Addie's coming-of-age is fraught with unexpected danger, challenging issues and difficult decisions. Young Addie must conquer her own fears, while fulfilling her quest to serve the needs of others. Her inquisitive, informative and oftentimes frustrating interactions with two older supporting characters stimulate her mental, emotional and physical development. One becomes her mentor, while the other acts more like her tormenter. However, Addie has a lesson plan in store for both of them.

Addie's trials and tribulations only serve to increase her determination to adapt to her new surroundings. The choices that she will make and the chances that she will take enable her to think clearly, while displaced outside of her own habitat. Her growing pains are eased by the promise of her becoming a big part of a better tomorrow. Join Addie, along her perilous journey, and find out what special talents are hidden inside you!
