The origin of Spike's flight
by Mark Baker
Come join Spike on the first of his many adventures as an aviator
Spike is a small desert lizard with a big dream: he wants to fly.
When his friend Carla the crow takes to the skies, Spike can only watch from below… until a group of mischievous turkey vultures tell him about a tiny, abandoned, toy airplane perched high on a desert butte.
Determined to reach it, Spike sets off on a daring journey, with trials like fleeing from a lightning-fast roadrunner, and a harrowing free solo climb of a towering butte, to finally discover the little plane waiting at the top. But when the vultures send him tumbling over the edge, Spike must rely on courage - and the power of his imagination to turn a terrifying fall into the adventure of a lifetime.
The Adventures of Spike the Aviator is a heartwarming and exciting origin story about believing in yourself, thinking big, and discovering that sometimes the impossible is just the beginning.
