This is a great book for all ages, particularly pre-teens and teen agers who may question their ability to succeed or excel at some skill. Of course, a mentor (parents) like the old seagull can play a great role in providing encouragement and direction for meeting the challenges of youth. It is an easy read loaded with metaphors that youngsters may need some help with interpretation. I bought a copy for each of my grand children and plan to read it with them.

I bought this book for myself many years ago and since then have given it to my daughter and my granddaughter for it's message of being capable of doing whatever you want to achieve if you believe in yourself. Now I'm ready to relay that message on to another daughter. It may not be a family tradition, but you never know.

READ THIS BOOK WAY BACK IN MY HIPPIE DAYS. MY PAPERBACK COPY BARELY SURVIVED, BACK COVER AMPUTATED. MY YOUNG SON READ IT WHEN HE WAS PROBABLY 12 YEARS OLD AND LOVED IT...WAS IT THE SPIRITUALITY OR THE INDIVIDUALITY? I DON'T KNOW, BUT HE ASKED FOR IT AGAIN RECENTLY..TURNS OUT IT WAS TO IMPRESS A LITTLE GIRL WHO WAS PAYING ATTENTION TO HIM. I DECIDED IT WAS TIME FOR HIM TO HAVE HIS OWN. THE EBAY PURCHASE WAS EXCEPTIONAL. THE PRODUCT WAS DELIVERED EXPEDITIOUSLY AND AS DESCRIBED. MY SON CAN NOW TAKE FLIGHT WHENEVER HE WANTS TOO..HE JUST BETTER NOT C**P ON ME!!
Was given the original 50 years ago and wanted one for a dear friend. This was it. Thank you
