Antar and the Eagles
I hope enough readers come by this original book to make it well-known. It's about 30 pages too long at the beginning, but it becomes compelling reading as Antar, snatched by the great eagles, grows to know and love them and learns of his assigned mission to help ensure their future; to do which he must undertake a perilous journey full of uncertainty and immense hardship. It's a book to be well-introduced before setting your readers in flight!
