Two days after John Farrington's eleventh birthday, a migration of monarch butterflies landed on his house.

They are light as air, soft as feathers, fragile as a dream. They are lost and need a guide to lead them to safety-someone like eleven-year-old John Farrington. They will change his life forever.

Passionate, moving, and inspiring, this flight of fantasy from master storyteller Bruce Coville is a timely fable about the difficulties—and the rewards—of staying true to one's heart.
