Good Book

House of Wings is truly a remarkable book. It is about a boy named Sammy and his grandfather who learn how to preserve and conserve the nature. Sammy lives in past day West Virginia and he is 8 years old. His parents, who were in the red for the bank, left him to go to Indiana. He was left with his ?crazy and strange? old grandfather who?s only bond is with nature. His grandfather loves birds, but the boy is rebellious and hates them. He wants to run away. I really enjoyed this book and I hope that through reading this, you will too.
