Publisher Comments:

When the wild geese migrate over the little pond with its pink flamingos and clipped grass, Skylar and the others watch with envy. They like their pond, but there is something elegant and brave about being a real wild goose. But theyve never flown before, and besides, theres never been a reason to go. Then a lost heron wants the pond geese to take him to Lost Pond, and Skylar thinks its time for this motley crew to spread their wings and try out the great blue yonder. Adventure awaits . . . but, as theyll soon find out, so does great danger. At once charming and funny, full of friendship, hardship, and bravery, this is a beautifully told story about leaving home to experience the world. With delightful black-and-white illustrations, and hints of "Charlottes Web" and "The Tale of Despereaux," this is a book in the tradition of fine childrens literature.

Jonathan, July 9, 2008 (view all comments by Jonathan)
It's a journey story and a friendship story, with some comparisons to Watership Down but much shorter and targeted to a younger audience. Still, it is not without its share of real dangers and tragedy. It's a beautiful tale and the language that Cuffe-Perez uses to describe "the way," the migration paths, is evocative and gorgeous.
