The Girl Who Was Convinced That Beyond All Reason She Could Fly

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Age range 14+

In a rusted unnamed city full of
five-dollar hotels and flea markets, a young homeless girl named Eggs is trying
to make her way in the world. She's shy and bold at the same time, and wary of
strangers, but she is convinced beyond all reason that she can fly.

And fly she does, from rooftop to
rooftop, from chimneys to phone wires; she scurries up the sides of buildings
and sneaks into secret lairs. Eggs is a loner, but she makes two friends:
Grack, who sells 100 different kinds of hot dogs from his bicycle cart, and
Splendid Wren, a punk rocker whose open window Eggs came crashing through one
night. Both Grack and Splendid Wren try their best to protect her, but Eggs
meets her match when on a cold night she swoops onto a rooftop and steals a
warm jacket belonging to Robin, a neighbourhood baddie with anger management
issues. Can Eggs elude his wrathful revenge?

Beguiling and otherworldly, The Girl
Who Was Convinced beyond All Reason That She Could Fly is a fevered dream
about a young girl's flights of fancy in order to survive, and to thrive.
