Praise for The Boy With Wings:
'Always looking for genuinely laugh out loud funny books and [The Boy with Wings] 100% delivered. THANK YOU.' - Louie Stowell, author of Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Being Good
'This book is as laugh-out-loud funny as you'd expect, but it's also packed with super-charged thrills, characters you really care about and a whole lot of heart. I think The Boy With Wings is the start of something really special.' - Nadia Shireen
'Henry's first book for children is as funny as might be expected but it's also quietly thoughtful and poignant, examining ideas of heritage, family, love and belonging in a way that lifts the Chosen One troupe out of the territory of cliche.' - Books for Keeps
