Fabulous Flight

"[C]hildren are going to be charmed ... only such a good fantasy writer as Lawson could write about his adventures so plausibly ... And the author's pictures get better and better as the story progresses." — *Kirkus Reviews*

"[Lawson's books] will live for generations." — *The Horn Book*

Peter Pepperell abruptly stopped growing at the age of 7, after which he started getting *smaller.* But while his body became tinier, his mind got bigger and so did his sense of adventure. When he learns of an overseas madman who's threatening the world with a compact but powerfully destructive weapon, the 4-inch-high boy climbs on the back of a friendly seagull and heads for Europe to disarm the evil scientist — and to do a little sightseeing along the way.

Author Robert Lawson was awarded both the Newbery and Caldecott medals for his writing and illustrating, and his images for *The Fabulous Flight* add mightily to the story's whimsical delights. Long out of circulation, this book is back in print and ready to delight a new generation of young readers.
