(3) YA Fourteen-year-old outcast Graham, born with "folds of flesh" between his fingers that enable him to fly, is exploited by an alluring reporter after Graham uses his power to save a baby. Family dynamics cannily inform the intrigue and Richardson fully inhabits his hero's voice, projecting a poignant blend of naiveté and disaffection that carries the book.
