Interpretation To Books Flyaway
This one is by the same author who wrote STOLEN (which you’ll recall that I adored). FLYAWAY is actually her first novel, published second in the states, and it’s a middle grade novel. Basically, it’s about a girl who becomes determined to reunite a lost swan with its flock after the girl’s father has a heart attack. Anyway, here are five reasons to read it:1. It’s soft and sweet. The image of a feather comes to mind, even though this book is about a girl coping with the idea that her father and her new friend might die.
2. The imagery is, as always in Christopher’s books, beautiful. The setting is always another character.
3. There is something about Christopher’s prose across both her novels that makes me trust her as an author. She’s in control of these stories, and if you’re feeling something, it’s because she meant you to. It means that she pretty much has a free pass with me at the moment. I will pick up anything she writes.
4. It’s got this slightest little hint of magical realism. I would’ve really loved this book as a ten year old.
5. It is precisely what it promises you. Sometimes I want to be shocked, yes, and sometimes I want twists, and sometimes I want to read about a very unexpected body in a closet. But this book promises that it is a certain sort of book on the first page, and then it gives you exactly that. Soft and sweet.

Plot: One cold winter mourning, Dad gets sick - and goes into hospital. It's there I meet Harry, with his scruffy hair and firefly eyes. From his window we watch a wild swan on the frozen lakes outside. There's something different about her, truly different. Almost magical. Perehaps, if we can help her, everything else will begin to make sense.Review: There were 3 major themes to this book: Family, Swans and Harry. The book itself was suprisingly captivating and I even found myself cryingThis one is by the same author who wrote STOLEN (which youll recall that I adored).

Flyaway by Lucy Christopher is about a 13-year-old girl named Isla. Isla's father falls when they are racing across the fields, following the swan flying into winter at the lake like they do every year. At the hospital, Isla meets Harry, who is fighting against cancer. Outside the hospital windows, Isla watches a lone swan struggling to fly. Isla thinks that is she could help the lost swan to fly and lead her back to her flock, everything will be good again. My favorite part of the book was when
This book was definitely a page turner. When I first got the book I didnt think I would enjoy it as much as I did. The book Flyaway was an amazing short read, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes true emotion in a book. One thing I loved about the book was the relationship between the main character, Isla and her father. The true emotion that author, Lucy Christopher, put into the story is unreal. In the book Islas father goes through a heart attack which takes a huge toll on their
I received the ARC of FLYAWAY from the BEA. What attracted me to this novel was the author, Lucy Christopher. I had read her first novel, STOLEN, which I thought was absolutely brilliant. FLYAWAY is quite different than STOLEN but also interesting. It's a MG novel narrated by Isla, pronounced I - la. Isla has a close relationship with her father. Together they share a love for birds, especially swans. As the swans migrate, Isla and her dad track them around their community. SPOILER - SO BEWARE -
Not as exciting or unusual as , but I thoroughly enjoyed this teenage girl's interactions, both in reality and in her dreams, with the injured swan and her flock. The whoopers in the natural world were the perfect contrast to the hospital scenes and Christopher includes some lovely romance for the YA reader too.
I loved it :) it's a really good book :)
