(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Sam Nielson. Ambitious Lockley Puffin yearns to soar gracefully--a radical idea for a puffin. Lockley's adventurous spirit pits him, along with his sidekicks--a pontificating walrus and an (improbably) Arctic-tolerant hummingbird--against an absurdly tyrannical owl king and leads to a quest for his colony's freedom. Whimsical characters and daring exploits balance the political drama. Pompous dialogue and factual errors disrupt the narrative.
