"The Boy Who Could Fly" by James Norcliffe tells the story of a young boy named Sam who discovers he has the extraordinary ability to fly. As he navigates the challenges of adolescence, including friendships, family dynamics, and the struggles of fitting in, Sam’s newfound power becomes both a source of joy and a burden. The book explores themes of self-discovery, the nature of freedom, and the pressures of growing up. Sam’s journey takes him through both uplifting and challenging moments, as he learns to embrace who he truly is amid the complexities of life and the magic of his gift.
