Rocket's got speed. He's got talent. He's even got two blue racing stripes on his wings. But there's one thing standing between this rookie racing pigeon and his dream of scoring a spot on the High Flyers racing team: ground school. Determined to fast-track his way onto the team, Rocket crashes a race to prove that he belongs flying at the front of the flock, not sitting in the back of a classroom. But when danger strikes, he makes rookie mistakes that cost him the race and push his dreams even farther from reach. With the help of an unlikely friend, a forgotten legend, and lessons from his long-lost racing champion father, Rocket learns that racing takes more than speed and he discovers what it really means to be a winner.
Autorenporträt
When author Erika Liodice spotted a truck on the highway with the words CONTAINS LIVE RACING PIGEONS stenciled on the side, her curiosity stirred. What are racing pigeons? she wondered. This question sparked a journey that led her to discover the two-hundred-year-old sport of pigeon racing, which was once an international sensation but today is in danger of dying out. Erika's curiosity about pigeon racing quickly turned into a passion that inspired her to write the High Flyers children's book series about a team of racing pigeons and adopt two racers of her own to learn firsthand about their care and training. Today, Erika and her feathered friends are on a mission to save the sport by teaching people about pigeon racing and its extraordinary winged athletes. Learn more at TeamHighFlyers.com.
