About the Book
May 10, 1940
Everyone in Iris's small English
village avoids the dragon in the woods. Everyone, that is, except for Iris. She
knows Galahad would never hurt her--she's been caring for the dragon since he
lost his mother when he was a baby. When Galahad is accused of stealing
military rations, Iris strikes a bargain that will spare Galahad's life... but
send him off to the war brewing in Europe. Soon after, she receives news that
her brother is among the troops trapped in France by the advancing German
troops. Refusing to give up hope, Iris devises a desperate plan that will
either save both her brother and her best friend--or end in disaster.
Meanwhile in Belgium, Max's school
day is abruptly interrupted by some terrifying news: The Germans have invaded
his country. He and his grandmother are forced to flee for their lives west
toward France where they hope to find safety. But when they are separated after
a German attack, Max must continue the treacherous journey on his own.
Across hundreds of miles, the stories
of Iris and Max steadily converge toward an explosive conclusion that will
change them both forever. Along the way, they each must find the inner strength
and resolve--the valor--to do the impossible. Author Sam Subity blends history
and fantasy to tell a story like no other--an exhilarating adventure about the
power of friendship, hope, and courage.
Billy's Review
VALOR WINGS is an intriguing, original, fast-paced historical fantasy that captivates a reader within the first few pages and holds the reader's attention until the last sentence. From the prose to the dialogue to the descriptions, Sam Sabuity has crafted a masterpiece that will be enjoyed by both children and adults. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading VALOR WINGS. Although it's written for kids, I found it enjoyable, especially given the WWII setting. I can easily envision the book being adapted into a future live-action or animated film. I highly recommend the book to readers of all ages. ╌★★★★★
About Sam Subity
Sam Subity loves writing stories that explore the magic and wonder of
being a kid and is thrilled to share his debut novel with readers everywhere --
both the young in age and the young at heart. When he's not writing, you might
find him running the trails of Northern California, where the endless, winding
miles past fog and ocean inspire stories of adventure and mystery. Or he might
be mowing his lawn. Because that's what adults sometimes have to do. But in
either case, he's very likely imagining himself fighting mythical creatures or
at the prow of a Viking dragon ship, feeling the wind and sea spray on his
face. His greatest hope is that in reading this book, you too were in some
small way transported to another place where for a little while you could exchange
the ordinary for the extraordinary.
