Up, and No Way!: The Mostly True Story of Feathers McGee

Meet Feathers McGee - the most magnificent eagle in Tall Pines Forest, and the only one who takes the bus.He has a six-foot wingspan, eyes sharp enough to spot a field mouse from two miles away, and a monthly bus pass he uses religiously. Because Feathers McGee has a problem. A very high-up, absolutely-not-happening, EXTREMELY inconvenient problem.He is afraid of heights.When a tiny baby robin climbs too high and gets stuck, the whole forest looks to Feathers for help. But every rescue attempt goes spectacularly wrong - his best friend Gerald flies directly into a bush, kindly Dr. Penguin remembers too late that penguins cannot actually fly, and backup arrives from the old tortoise with an ETA of Thursday. It is currently Monday.With nothing left but a wobbly homemade ladder, fifty wagered earthworms, and one catastrophically well-timed sneeze, Feathers McGee is about to discover something extraordinary.You don't have to be fearless to be brave. You just have to show up - even when showing up means going higher than you ever planned.Funny, heartfelt, and packed with visual gags on every page, Up, Up, and No Way! is a celebration of courage, friendship, and the dignity of always, always sticking the landing.Perfect for ages 4-8 and every adult who has ever said "absolutely not" before doing it anyway.
