Customer Reviews

a cool book

My son is nine, with language delays. Despite that, we are 1/2 way through the book. He reads two pages a night, and looks up words he doesn't know. Then I read the next page. He has learned about flight, physics, and enjoyed the adventures without knowing he has learned science. We have had fun laughing at the funny parts, and enjoyed being scared together. This is a wonderful, imaginative book, which I would recommend for any young reader.

A very imaginative and thrilling book

This is a story about a boy who was in bed because he has a fever. To pass the time so he won't be bored, he flies paper airplanes, and with his imagination, he goes on some adventures. The way he uses paper is cool; he uses paper for everything! This book was so good that I went and made paper airplanes after I read it. I recommend this book for ages 8-12.
