Fiction
A Wing and a Prayer
by John Morano
Description
Lupé might be the very last Guadalupe petrel alive, and he knows the best way to save his flock is to find the Islands of Life and a mate. The problem is the well-meaning man-flock that's decided to keep him safe... in a cage. But Lupé has hatched an escape plan all his own!
Told in a 'Disneyesque' style, "A Wing and a Prayer" will have you smiling and laughing as you're introduced to wonderful characters but also important themes, especially the environment.
Often compared to works such as "Jonathan Livingston Seagull," "Watership Down," and "The Jungle Books," this 25th Anniversary Edition also features an introduction by Mark Tercek, President and CEO of The Nature Conservancy.
