About My Dad's a Birdman

Lizzie and Dad live in a rainy town in the north of England. It's just the two of them, and Auntie Doreen, who pops round to check Lizzie's spellings and tell Dad he's daft and make them nice hot dumplings. But today there's something unusual going on: why is Dad building himself a pair of wings and studying the birds to see how they fly? The Great Human Bird Competition of course! A major novel, featuring glorious full colour illustrations throughout, from the formidable David Almond, winner of the Carnegie, Whitbread and Smarties awards.
