Any bird can find adventure. Even Gary.

Gary the pigeon can't fly. When his racing pigeon friends head off in their travel basket, Gary stays at home. He organises his scrapbook of travel mementos and dreams about the adventures the other pigeons are having. But when Gary accidentally ends up a very long way from home, he discovers that flying is not the only way to have adventures.

• Simple, accessible text that explores themes of rising above limitations, ingenuity and daring to dream. 
• Perfect for kids who love maps, signs and keeping scrapbooks
