Imagine flying free like a bird. Imagine changing into a bird then back into your own body at will. This is exactly what happens to Toby Fletcher. Bullied at school, Toby takes refuge in his hobby, bird watching. When the bullies hurt a blackbird, he rescues it, takes the fledgling home, and places it in his tree. This kind act turns an ordinary tree into a magical Fly-Away Tree. The Tree transports Toby and his sister into the mysterious world of Avia. The pair are plunged into a woodland adventure, and into great danger, with consequences reaching far beyond the world of birds. Brimming with excitement, Toby Fletcher's Fly-Away Tree is a story for children aged 7 - 12 years of age. What children say: Lauren: "My favourite character is Toby. I felt really sorry for him when he was being bullied." Duncan: "I love the way the author always leaves me wanting to know more at the end of each chapter." Yasmin: "When I read the first page I got a tear in my eye because the story is so good." Mark: When I finished reading the first chapter I was engrossed. The Fly-Away Tree is mystical and exciting."
