This book is as laugh-out-loud funny as you’d expect, but it’s also packed with super-charged thrills, characters you really care about and a whole lot of heart. I think The Boy With Wings is the start of something really special.Bestselling author and illustrator Nadia Shireen

... Always looking for genuinely laugh out loud funny books and [The Boy with Wings] 100% delivered. THANK YOU.Louie Stowell, author of The Dragon in the Library
Apart from getting picked on by school bullies, Tunde is an ordinary boy – so why do his mum and dad insist he must never run, or do sports? When a mysterious peril threatens Earth and Tunde suddenly sprouts wings, everything starts to become clear. Hilarious and heartfelt.Imogen Russell Williams, The Guardian
