"Are me feet off the floor yet? Are me feet off the floor?" In a rainy town in the north of England, there are strange goingson. Dad is building a pair of wings, eating flies, and feathering his nest. Auntie Doreen is getting cross and making dumplings. Mr Poop is parading the streets, shouting louder and louder, and even Mr Mint, the head teacher, is getting in a flap. And watching it all is Lizzie, missing her mam and looking after her dad and thinking how beautiful the birds are. Whats behind it all? Its the Great Human Bird Competition, of course. Who will be the first to fly across the River Tyne?David Almonds barmy, tender and funny tale about wings and faith, written for the Young Vic to accompany their production of Skellig. It has since been performed many times around the world, and also adapted by Almond into a muchloved, muchtranslated novel, with illustrations by Polly Dunbar.
